The tradition · agrarian roots; ongoing

Dugnad

Dugnad, from Old Norse dugnaðr ('help'), is Norway's tradition of voluntary communal work, rooted in farm communities and now how housing co-ops, schools and clubs get jobs done.

How a note would work

Brushes are earned by joining a clean-up, painting day or repair session for a shared building, school or club and spent on help from other members. They are never bought or cashed out.

Design concept inspired by this tradition, not issued by or for the people who keep it. Not legal tender, not for sale, no cash value, no redemption and no investment rights.
