# Emprius Prize

*Updated: 2026-11-04*

With this Prize we want to highlight **communalism**: what has existed in the **past**, which generally occupies a non-existent or marginal place in our historical memory; what remains in the **present** and what we’re trying to recreate; and communalism as a **future** proposal to tackle the serious problems we face at a social, human and ecological level.

We understand **communalism** as a whole range of forms of social organisation related to the communal and collective ownership and management of resources, and communal rights over these; direct democracy and active community participation; social relations of reciprocity and mutual aid… We advocate for a social transformation where these types of structures, forms and logics carry increasing weight, because we believe they can provide solutions to many problems we face.
