Cultivate – ‘Surfing the Waves of Change’

aislingblackburn — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 10:49:06 +0000

Cultivate have created a new film called ‘Surfing the Waves of Change’. It is a 9-minute animation which, using surfing as a metaphor, introduces the concept of community resilience. The new film explores how we can best take the steps to ensure that the places where we are living have the ability to get by in times of abrupt change and are brilliant places to live. It is available on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mdv_iAa5rnk&feature. The film accompanies a new publication from Carnegie UK Trust called, ‘Exploring Community Resilience in Times of Rapid Change’. It was supported by Trocaire, Comhar SDC Media Fund and Carnegie Trust UK. It is available http://resilience.cultivate.ie

Yes well getting back to the garden again , it has been a nice an mild ease into the Winter season. We have had a lot of sunshine which has allowed us to tackle the winter jobs with a little more finesse than usual. Having regular gardeners each week for the last while has made all the difference.
