This morning we launched the Compendium for the Civic Economy, a fantastic collection of case studies and lessons of civic enterprise and innovation. We were delighted to be joined by an audience from a whole host of different backgrounds, and especially pleased that many of the civic entrepreneurs and practitioners featured in the book were able to be part of the event.
Fuelled by breakfast from the People's Supermarket - a cooperative social venture currently based in Camden - there was a real buzz in the room which was reflected in comments online. We kicked off with Inderpaul Johar (00:/) who talked about the genealogy of the project, then opened up to some lively conversation with our panel - Pam Warhurst from Incredible Edible Todmorden, Sam Conniff from youth communications agency Livity, and Tom Bolton from the Centre for Cities.
Videos from the event will be available soon.

A New Path?
As one of the "innovators" included in this book, I would welcome any suggestions as to how junk4funk, my Recycled Music company which has facilitated more than 350 Workshops over the past four years,can survive the continual comments from Schools and Local Authorities, that they have no budget anymore to employ junk4funk's services.
