Hope GardenJun 21, 2024

We got the grant to create the #HopeGarden (#GarddGobaith yn Gymraeg)!!! It’s a #ClimateAssembly at the heart of a #wildlife #ForestGarden. There is a lot of community outreach, documenting & advocacy, so I need to spend the next couple of weeks getting the website & newsletter up to speed.

The existing website gives a flavour https://hopegarden.uk

The new website will be #bilingual English & #Cymraeg

Thank you to everyone who's been involved so far, so much help and support, it's been pretty amazing and we've only just started. ✊ 💚 🌻

I’m working on a #CommunityAssembly at the heart of a #wildlife #ForestGarden project. I went to a #KNOCA #ClimateAssembly workshop, Professor Tatsuyoshi Saido gave a really thought provoking talk about #FutureDesign, well worth a watch

@Shou no probs. All research for our community #ClimateAssembly action plan here in Wales. So many lessons to learn and people I need to connect with. I’m glad the sharing is appreciated

And now we turn to #PlatformCooperatives. Again, inspiring stuff and points to how we might enact the ideas and plan from the #dyffrynogwen #ClimateAssembly https://open.spotify.com/episode/4nQEhL26aBH3rsR9rlaDlY?si=Zn5P0C0IQCCpqZH6MFQzUA&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A5JuVhmMoZLBWfeoel8Ahk4
Rerun — Trebor Scholz, Platform Cooperative Consortium

Listen to this episode from Reimagining the Internet on Spotify. livery services to music streaming. Trebor is a professor at the New School, where he helms the Platform Cooperativism Consortium. It’s a fascinating listen about the variety of ways coops can aid local communities, labor unions, and freelancers, empowering communities of workers to govern themselves and more equitably distribute revenue.

At our #ClimateAssembly we were asked to sit for 10 minutes and imagine #DyffrynOgwen in 2040!
This is what I came up with…

I’m researching #Coops for potential new initiative coming out of our local #climateassembly.
Any info on #cooperatives #Cooperative hubs or incubators would be really welcomed. 
What kind of local support services & resources do workers need to take the first steps towards collectively owning their own business? 
I will be reaching out to #Cwmpas and other Co-op UK bodies too

Final thing for this evening. I’m also part of my local #climateassembly in #dyffrynogwen run by GwyrddNi. It’s amazing and we’re doing some great work as a community facilitated by this wonderful organisation https://www.gwyrddni.cymru/en/

Why we need a new climate assembly | Letter

Letter: The current Climate Assembly UK is deliberating on a red herring – participants should be deciding not just how, but how quickly, we need to act, say a group of scientists, MPs and campaigners
