spring

SPRING IS…?

  • A new political partnership between government and communities, making super-powered localities

  • Building small-i independence for a resilient, confident Scottish future

  • New spaces, practices and tools for deliberation, on and offline

  • An active relational culture, building trust, resilience and creative innovation

  • Less problem-solving, more reimagining the future

  • Community agency networks (CANs) for developing community wealth (or local economy)

  • Cosmolocalism – being fully in the world from your own town, city or neighbourhood

  • Tech-positive, aiming to connect people and projects across regions and continents

  • A strong emphasis on informal, open, friendly gatherings – festivals, music and dance events, play spaces, constellations – for moving beyond old stories that divide us
