DE-GROWING TOGETHER
Last Sunday, the 24th of January, Sunseed attended the meeting “De-growing together” organized by Cooperativa Integral de Cabo de Gata. It was a meeting of different communities, associations and people working for different life forms and communities. There, we got to know other local associations and initiatives and exchange point of views, initiatives and perspectives.
Paco, the coordinator of The Appropriate Technology Department, demonstrated a biomass gasification process to cook on a self made stove. Later on, we enjoyed a delicious tea prepared with this stove. In addition, other workshops were organized such as Biodanza, Taichi, permaculture, organic gardening. We enjoyed also live music and a delicious collective meal.
Paco, el coordinador del departamento de Tecnologias Apropiadas, realizo una demonstracion de gasificacion de biomasa para cocinar en un hornillo fabricado por el mismo. Luego disfrutamos de un rico te preparado con el hornillo! Ademas, se organizaron muchos otros talleres (Biodanza, Taichi, permacultura, huertos ecologicos). Tambien pudimos disfrutar de musica en directo y una deliciosa comida colectiva!
Last Winter has been an unusual Winter. For the first time in 25 years Sunseed closed to volunteers to focus on improvement works. That was not only refereed to the houses and commodities, it was also about internal structure, management and organisation.
All the staff members have been involved in many different meetings and working groups to analyze current situation, identify needs, brainstorm ideas, plan future actions and ways to make them happen.
EPF department (Patricia and Martin) has been involved in some of these working groups: Appreciative inquiries, Volunteers experience, Networking, Income generation, Sunseed Policies,…;
