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

hi Ruth,

that sounds great. Its quite funny that it is working out in the way it is for us. I wonder Ruth if you have seen this man's work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzZzZ_qpZ4w 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.

Dear all,

I wanted to let you know that the European Cultural Foundation (ECF) has just launched an open call as part of our current strategic focus "Connecting Culture, Communities and Democracy”.

I thought you, your colleagues or your network may be interested by this call for innovative ideas for cross-sectorial collaboration that engages Europeans in re-defining and shaping “public space”. 50 selected ideas will be presented at an Idea Camp in 23-25 October in Marseille, following that event, 25 will be selected to receive R&D grants up to €10K. The deadline to submit applications is 15 July.

The call is open to individuals, collectives or organisations working in the arts and cultural sector as well as in other fields and sectors of society including academic & educational, environmental, trade & industry, health & social care, human rights etc. Applicants can represent the private, public or social sector, and they should be based or active in wider Europe.

For further details and to apply, please read the call: http://www.culturalfoundation.eu/idea-camp/

Do share the call within your networks and friends.

In order to raise awareness about the open call and gather views on the theme of public space, we have launched an online campaign. Anyone can participate through their usual online channels, simply by tagging their contributions as #PublicSpaceis. Check http://www.culturalfoundation.eu/public-space-is for further information.

Thanking you in advance.

Best regards,

Juan
