I am organizing a pop-up festival in Streatham in March 2011.

It would be awesome to have the Remade in Brixton initiave represented at the festival. 

Please get in touch, either via project dirt or via my website www.lucilleacevedojones.co.uk

to find  out more and to discuss how you could be involved.

The festival is called 'Here, There and Everywhere'. 

The idea is to bring together, to Streatham as many representatives of London-wide activist groups, to highlight the activity and to gain more support for community
led, environmentally sound initiatives in Streatham by showing
residents all the amazing results and/or skills that can be acquired
whilst simultaneously disseminating information that can enable
sustainable choice. 

 

The festival will consist of a series of micro-workshops in various locations around Streatham High Street and of a market for local growers/designers/producers who are environmentally and ethically
aware.  The micro-workshops would be like taster sessions that shed
light on particular aspects of the four green action areas: waste, transport, food and energy.

 

There are so many inspiring projects happening everywhere around us in London, it would be great to bring the spotlight to all these and to inspire more residents to volunteer and to be creative in
how they interact with their surroundings and community.  Ultimately,
with concerted effort, it
would be possible to put Streatham on the map and to create a tangible
feeling of camaraderie between residents and potentially a space for
everyone to feel like it is really possible to make a difference in ones
own life and the life of others, even the life of this world.

I look forward to hearing from you!

With kind regards,

 

Lucille Acevedo-Jones
