Bristol's Green Roots Community Workshop
Emmelie Brownlee | 10.12.2010 09:22
Bristol's Green Roots is a Heritage Lottery funded project to document Bristol's
history of social and environmental justice. As part of our work we would like to hear
from Bristol's community groups and what you think the role of the community has
been and is in Bristol's environmental movement. The workshop will run from
10.30am (registration and coffee at 10.00am) until 3.30pm, tea/coffee and lunch will be provided.
Through group discussion with members from Bristol's community groups we wish
to explore your thoughts on the role of community in Bristol, what you think about
Bristol's reputation as a 'green city', the achievements of Bristol's communities and
what you hope for Bristol's future.
We would like to film and record these discussions for the heritage archive. The
perspectives and opinions that you share will form an invaluable part of the project
and will allow you to discuss and document your own community's work.
As the archive will be stored with Bristol's museums it will be available as a research
tool for years to come and will also be available for the museums to use in
exhibitions about Bristol. You therefore would have to be willing for the material we
record to be used in this way.
If you would like to take part in this workshop and share your views on the role of
communities in Bristol's sustainability movement, please contact Emmelie Brownlee
on emmelie@schumacherinstitute.org.uk to ask any questions or register your interest.
