On Monday I took the train up to Chester for an event organised by Tracey Todhunter, which provided some really practical action planning for community energy saving projects. The day was also facilitated by Susi from The Federation for Community Development Learning. The audience consisted of communities and local authority representatives and there was some really interesting and challenging discussions; how do you engage with the community? how can we tackle apathy? what tools can we use to support community action?
There was lots of opportunity to talk to people about what they are doing and what challenges they are facing and how they can be overcome! I met some very inspiring people and learnt a lot about the practical issues that face many community champions.
