These hitchhikers are agile collaborators who sign on to a shared philosophy or manifesto, allowing them to co-create and team up on projects without needing to be formal employees.
The term plays on the whimsical yet profound spirit of Douglas Adams’ The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, suggesting a playful but committed journey through purposeful work.
Hitchhikers operate through principles inspired by: - Time Banks - Community Currencies - Mutual societies - Cooperative Movements - Participatory and Purpose Driven Organisations
