Local nodes (LN) are the local grassroots base of FairCoop, they offer the link between the local projects, initiatives, individuals or collectives to the global Faircoop community. Therefore a local node can be seen as a connector team which shares the information bidirectionally (local-global-local).

Some of the LN’s tasks are:
|
|
|
* **Welcome** to FairCoop at local level. Making possible to host physical meetups with individuals and collectives interested in FairCoop
|
|
|
* **Spread** Faircoop in the region. Share the FairCoop news with all your contacts who live nearby.

* Workshops, talks, interviews about FairCoop. A LN is the **reference** of FairCoop in their region, therefore when a FairCoop group receives a petition to do something physically, it will resend the petition to the local node able to host it. This could be a physical public talk, an interview with local media, an information table, etc.

|
|
* **Connection** between the FairCoop network and local projects. LNs are the best for knowing which projects in their region could be interested in Faircoop, and is responsible to contact them. This is for the general Faircoop information, but also for every concrete project that could have relation with things that are being done already at local level. There is also the need to facilitate and support the use of all the different economic tools available in the FairCoop ecosystem, like **UseFaircoin**, **FairMarket**, **FairPay**, etc.

* Transmission channel for the FairCoop **global projects**. When a global project is scheduled, the local nodes will be a key team to expand the project to existing groups that could have similar activities or may want to participate.
|
|
|
* **Main team** of a Faircoop project or task. When a team is able to work together physically, it becomes more powerful than just a virtual team. It would be very interesting for the whole FairCoop community when a local node accepts the responsibility for coordinating a FairCoop project or a concrete global task.

|
* Faircoin **Point of Exchange** (PoE) for [GetFairCoin](https://getfaircoin.net). A LN would be able to bring a trusted contact and a physical space to buy or sell faircoin, making the Faircoop currencies easy to access. Write to **admin@getfaircoin.net** for more details. This could be also a way to self finance a local node because at least 1% of the exchange goes to the local node as a fee.

As part of these exchange offices, local nodes can also facilitate the access to Fairpay cards, for users and POS app for merchants; making easier for all of them to use faircoin for their real needs and promoting circular economy.
