TITLE: "An altruist community intervention tool: Time Banks"

A Time Bank is a formal organization dedicated to arrange time exchanges between its users. In my works I consider Bank Times as a networking tool for communitarian intervention which generates and makes visible a specific field of social interaction: the altruist mechanisms. This interaction scope is governed by its own culture, principles, values and structures, objective and symbolic.

It is in a prosocial scope where the Time Banks' Communities merge, which we could also define as "mutual aid networks ", based on equality and willingness ("one hour dedicated to helping other has the same value for everybody").

Time Banks are privileged places for the prosocial Communities generation. These communities are developing an alternative economic system to the monetary one, based on the logic of abundance, confidence, solidarity and the reciprocity.

The study of Time Banks may serve to analyze the possibilities of new intervention methodologies for communitarian development, as well as to explore emergent psycho-social aspects, related to the collective action in our "liquid societies" at the beginning of century XXI.
