Community Learning and Action for Sustainable Living
What is the project about?
To support community groups in Surrey to take action on sustainable living in their wider community using an action learning process.
Project Objectives:
- Develop an innovative methodology for defining and working towards sustainable living at a neighbourhood level in England;
- Build the knowledge, capacity, capability, commitment, ownership and responsibility among participants (both residents and those working in local institutions) to increase sustainable living;
- Embed the learning within the project community (the core group, steering group, community groups and national advisory group); and
- Influence (and explore the need for) relevant governance structures to ensure that barriers to sustainable living are tackled (including unsustainable behaviour by others which negatively affects the pilot neighbourhoods), and that appropriate continuing support is developed long term.
