We’ve been invited to a great sounding workshop about how Bristol’s community groups contribute to its environmental movement. It’s hosted by the Bristol’s Green Roots project, which is a Schumacher Institute project.
Would you like to take part in it? If so, please leave a comment, email Emmelie on the project, or get in touch with the contact form.
Here’s the blurb:
Bristol’s Green Roots is a Heritage Lottery funded project to document the city’s history of social and environmental justice, or ‘sustainability.’ The project, however, is not only concerned with documenting Bristol’s ‘green’ history. We also want to include Bristol’s population in the journey of discovery and documentation. The city’s community groups have made, and continue to make, a significant contribution to its environmental movement.
As part of the project the Schumacher Institute is hosting a one-day workshop inviting members from different community groups to discuss their role in Bristol’s sustainability movement. We want to discuss the pros and cons of community work, what it brings to Bristol’s environmental movement, what communities have achieved and what we can expect to see from Bristol’s community groups in the future. The conversations would be recorded and filmed to form part of the archive and clips would be used for the exhibitions.
We hope to hold this workshop in January but need to know if we would have enough participation.
If there is anyone from Transition Montpelier who would like to take part in this workshop, please contact Emmelie Brownlee on email.
