LocalMotion is a national movement investing in Torbay to create long term social, economic, and environmental change. There are two change areas underway in Torbay: food security and strengthening families.
The financial situations of people, groups and organisations underpin these topics and many other things. This is particularly so when concern about basic needs prevents people from thinking broadly and reaching their potential.
LocalMotion is not to add capacity to projects already in place but is about thinking radically and differently to address the root causes of issues. It gives us the opportunity to ask ‘what if…?’ test, learn and make long term change.
In this workshop we want to explore how we can think differently as a system and try new things that can make a long-term difference.
- How can we redirect money in our system, bringing people and organisations out of funding traditions and cycles.
- Can we invest in people?
- Can we set up some experiments?
