Forming as a group of concerned individiuals and organisations it is our intention to bring community together wherever we are. It is important that we reach out to both individuals and organisations and work out how we come together to support one another. With this is mind we work to develop opportunities where this community incubation can happen.

There are some key questions that need to be addressed if we are to work toward this goal:

How do organisations interact and interrelate to each other when their legal status is so separate?

Could organisations develop and sit under one ecosystem, with interconnected pathways that exchange value and knowledge.

A process of life long learning:

Learning and education have become synonymous with schools, colleges and universities. However, this is a very narrow view of education itself. Education is the process by which we are able to understand the local environment, to which we are entwined, critique the processes and operations, and where necessary, reorganise, adapting to meet the increasing needs presented by the breakdown of our systems. I would argue that because our ‘education’ institutions have focused increasingly upon the process of learning particular knowledge, a true education, a critique of our entire system operations, is rarely achieved. Few individuals, relatively, have reached a point to which they have a critical narrative of our current dominant worldly views.

Few schools support a politics, philosophy and economics curriculum which would at least provide children with the tools they might require to understand how and why communities and societies operate in the way they do. This lack of holistic practice leads, understandably, to a disenchanted, disaffected and disassociated cohort of young people who, unless they have had the support from their home unit, are left to navigate the complex operations of life on their own, after they leave home, not questioning why an individual focus leads to the destruction of community and, because of the nature of their journey through school, with focus upon ‘individual’ performance, why would we expect anything different.
