Time Bank in Lefkas island is a network for exchanging services and knowledge (know-how) which was established by two volunteers in 2012 and is being supported by the NGO “Solidarity Tracks”.

A Time Bank is an alternative system to money and the capitalist foundations. It forms a network of mutual exchange of services and knowledge on the scale of a local community. Within its frame, all transaction are made based on the value “time”, thus excluding the monetary value.

Every member can offer some of his/her time, under the form of services with regard to his/her skills/competences. He/she is entitled to receive other services, on a mutual basis, according to his/her needs and wishes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

From a general perspective, a Time Bank allows to reinforce the social cohesion of a community through the interpersonal exchange it boosts.
In fact, it allows us to imagine a society where the exchange of skills and knowledge is made without the mediation of money as a transaction means.

This new form of solidarity can promote the active participation of the citizen, the equal-to-equal exchange, the local sustainable development and the struggle against the exclusions.
Joining in Lefkas’ Time Bank means becoming member of a mutual aid network inside your community. This way the active attitude within this network will enable you to:

- (Re)activate your neighborhood relation and enlarge then by new ones
- Fulfill your needs or enrich your knowledge for free
- Feel being a useful and integral part of your community
