Making sense of what's next: Holding space for change in times of Climate Crisis
Leading scientists give our civilization something between 18 months to twelve years to implement the far-reaching changes that could limit the current climate emergency. Across generations, people engage is mass protest and young people feel justifiably betrayed.

How to use art to unlock urban imaginaries and public spaces
The modern city has long been thought of as a machine, a device that must respond mechanically and efficiently to the needs created by car traffic or housing.

How neighbourhood social networks can help communities and local businesses thrive
In the small state of Vermont, residents log on to Front Porch Forum, an online service, to ask for recommendations for a plumber, or to borrow a ladder, or to discuss the school budget. Unlike other social media, however, postings are aggregated and sent as a digest typically once a day. So members read postings from their neighbors only after they have been reviewed first by Front Porch Forum’s team of moderators. Michael Wood-Lewis, a founder of Front Porch Forum, spoke to Ouishare about the platform’s role in building community, increasing social capital, and, most recently, its take on Big Tech.

Why we need new narratives and strategies to save the environment
The fatalist-gloomy-future narrative around climate change hasn't been compelling to mobilise enough individuals and communities for change. In response, new organisations are emerging with positive narratives and more complex strategies to tackle 'the problem' of our generation.
