Projects of change - a permacultural perspective

-


What did you organize, when, where and for how many people?
A course about the creation of projects of change from a permacultural perspective. It included three different parts: the human factor, the construction of a strategy according to the social, economic and political factor, and self-sufficiency. It was in Langreo (Asturias), financed by the city council of Langreo, on the 27th and 28th of April and the 5th of May. There were 20 assistants and 3 trainers (including me).

What were the main goals and objectives of the activity?
The goal was teaching people the skills to create projects of change, and that people with interests in common can meet each other.

What were the main outcomes and results of the activity? 
It was very succesfull. The people that came were highly interested. Most of them became friends to each other, and we have continued meeting for other events. The contents of the course were good and everybody learnt a lot. For me, it was a great experience on how to act as a trainer and a facilitator with such a big group of people.

Are there any other relevant aspects related to the activity, a conclusion or future plan?
I gained confidence to keep doing future activities in this line. The people who attended have kept on seeing each other and have joined to the group we have for organising community work, and they are up to attend other activities we organise.
Location: Langreo, Asturias, Spanyolország

What you organized, when, where and for how many people? We planned to organize a local swapshop and charity-bank kind of activity in our home town, Pécs. We started with a meetup for some likeminded people (an informal group called Pécsi Zöld Fórum) in May where about 20 people showed up and exchanged ideas in open space. 2 ideas came out as favourites, one of them the swapshop activity, which was then discussed in a smaller group, facilitated by me. What were the main goals and objectives of the activity? Providing a platform for like-minded locals to give away or swap surplus goods (from used household items to hand-made things or homestead products) where your time and skills can also be offered in exchange for items. The activity helps waste-reduction by reusing and shows a positive example of how to control consumption. What were the main outcomes and results of the activity? The small group came up with interesting ideas, we actually started swapping in th

What you organized, when, where and for how many people? I facilitated the Critical Mass Oviedo (June). This activity takes place every month, coinciding with the critical mass worldwide. Also, apart from the bike ride through the city, a documentary about the first Critical Mass was screened. It was held on Friday, June 1, in Oviedo and approximately 20 people attended.  What were the main goals and objectives of the activity? Since its inception, the purpose of the critical mass is to publicize the great advantages a greater presence of bicycles can bring in cities to mobility, society and the individual, to reduce the nuisance caused by motorized traffic: noise, pollution, traffic jams, insecurity. The idea was to raise awareness that those of us who travel by bicycle do not block traffic, we are traffic.  What were the main outcomes and results of the activity? The activity was very positive. After the documentary, there was a debate about what it means to be a cycli
