- time exchange
- barter
- peer to peer
- sharing
A time-exchange network of about 250 people based at the Wipkingen community centre in Zürich. Members trade services, handicrafts, food and second-hand goods using hours as currency, and also share, lend and give things away. Regular Feierabendtreff evenings and Bringen & Holen swap afternoons keep the network meeting in person.
Started with support from the Stiftung Zürcher Gemeinschaftszentren and GZ Wipkingen, it is now an independent association (Verein) with a volunteer board, still housed at and working closely with GZ Wipkingen. Exchanges are tracked on a Cyclos platform. The network marked its 19th year in 2026.
