What is Giro?

The acronym Giro comes from the Spanish Grupo Integrador de Recursos y Oportunidades -Integrating Group for Resources and Opportunities

GiroGlobal is a global network of Community Organizations which, through direct exchanges of materials, energy and information, enables sustainability and prosperity for the present and guarantees a planet-friendly future for the next generations

GiroGlobal grew out of the desire to have a simple model of exchange between Communities of goods and services produced, made or acquired. This wish has come from many regions of the world, through the attempts of academics, communities and organizations, to develop such a model based on the ideals and principles of the new economy, consciousness awareness, social creativity and complexity

There is no need for intermediaries in this model, which allows for respectful, humane relations and for wealth to be returned directly or kept in the hands of those who produced it

In other words, non-profit communities or organizations guarantee on one hand stability and responsibility that an individual cannot offer. On the other hand, they neither require nor expect the profit margins associated with for-profit companies and businesses

For this reason, GiroGlobal has chosen to implement its model with groups and collective organizations that are organized along sustainable communities’ principles.
