Alex Hook reflects on NESTA's recent Innovation for Sustainability event and the questions that arose around the future of sustainable innovation in the UK.
The following is an extract from the blog posted on The Guardian on 2 May 2012.
I'm very pleased to share a new publication with you today which has been created to showcase what we're learning through working with the 17 Neighbourhood Challenge projects.
The projects all came together at a workshop event in the Autumn which was focused around learning. You can see some photos of the day below; it took place in Birmingham at Fazeley studios which was a great space to work in as it gave us plenty of room to work in small groups as well as sharing news and socialising over tea breaks.
Things have been very busy for everyone over the last few months since Neighbourhood Challenge kicked off.
It was great to see the Neighbourhood Challenge projects taking part in the Manchester workshop we held last week.
NESTA is abuzz with activity this morning because the Neighbourhood Challenge projects are being announced today!
We received a huge response to our Neighbourhood Challenge project. Here are some useful tips for those of you wanting to go through a similar process again.
For a while now NESTA has been working to learn more about how best to support people to take a lead on changing their communities for the better.
The Harris Student Commission has released it's final report, 'A new design for learning' which explores the learnings from the programme and the opportunities for the future.
