Thanks Eimhin an all,
I didn't know Ron Finley, but this project has many special ingredients! thank you for sharing.
Let's keep in touch. I plan to have a draft plan together by the 10th and will think about how to contextualise it in relation to the P2PF.
wishing you well,
Ruth

Very nice... and fit to the territory he is in.
Lets connect indeed, I think that constellations of this type of work that are transnationally value based and communitarian in this resepct , might be a great idea.
We are looking at making the Growery a replicable project and to that end will collaborate with www.changex.org and hopefully with Carnegie UK and Plunkett as part of their 'Growing Livelihoods' initiative. The type of work being done here is filling a developing gap in the Irish situation after local councils have been shut down without a replacement strategy for the communication aspect they provided locally. In addition there are aspects of the way the department of social protection run their affairs (mandatory job-placements as part of the welfare state here for example) that need to be rethought and this kind of work is the practical application of thinking toward this end (basically channeling this labour into community beneficial situations rather than private companies as is the current situation, there are a lot of abuses, this needs a remedy.)
Anyway , we can talk more in due course about this.

Hey All,
I took a quick look. It's a nice project. Ruth I really like what you
are doing. I think games are a great tool for re-imagining how we relate
and co-create in our communites. They are also transferable. You can use
the same games and get different results in different places.
P2PF could apply but this project requires a local community element.
Maybe we can partner and support existing projects.
