At Inventures 2024, we were joined by Carol Wildcat of Ermineskin Cree Nation and Lynn Smith of Peavine Metis Settlement to discuss building trust between Indigenous nations and institutions. The discussion moved from taking a personalized approach to Indigenous community engagement, fostering long-term and mutually beneficial relationships, and how fruitful partnerships between institutions and nations can help create a better, more sustainable future. At NAIT, we respect the individuality of Indigenous communities and ensure that we walk beside them to help them achieve their training and applied research goals. Together we are building trust, sharing knowledge and creating impact. nait.li/3xILXIz

We are all related and each “a community of madness”, as the poet Pádraig Ó Tuama said. 🎶 Here’s to last week’s community event as part of #LonelinessAwarenessWeek, where we gathered to explore how loneliness impacts every facet of our lives, and what we can do to foster deeper connections to ourselves, each other, and the world. A few highlights: 🔥 #Loneliness can lead to inflammation, impulsivity, and lack of empathy on an individual level, driving overconsumption and polarization in society. In other words, our inner ecology is connected to the outer ecology. Parneet Pal 📵 Disconnecting from our phones and gathering in person, without pressure but option to connect, allows us to re-evaluate our relationship with technology and ourselves. Jordy van Bennekom, The Offline Club® 🗳️ #CitizenAssemblies, where randomly selected groups, representative of the city’s demographic makeup, make policy decisions together, could re-design how we do democracy in a unifying rather than divisive way. Ieva Cesnulaityte, DemocracyNext 🧠 Connection skills are the real future skills—and involve self-awareness, empathy for others, and recognizing our shared humanity beneath surface differences. Lori Schwanbeck, Humanize Big thank you to everyone who joined! DM me for the full recording, if you’re interested. Or join next week’s monthly community gathering online where we’ll explore another aspect of loneliness and practice those connection skills together! 💛 https://lnkd.in/dc6xytAj

The Key Cities Innovation Network Conference provided an excellent platform to present our community development research directly to leaders in local government, the Arts Council England, and the Arts and Humanities Research Council. In collaboration with the Centre for Coastal Communities at the University of Essex and various regional non-academic partners, the Cultural Engine Research Group (CERG) is working closely with local communities to co-produce cultural, arts, and heritage assets. Recent projects in Tendring and Rochford are shining a light on underrepresented communities, celebrating their rich heritage through co-created spaces. I presented CERG's “emotional geography” approach to developing these community spaces. This work examines how the places people live in can evoke, shape, or suppress their emotional experiences. In turn, these emotional relations influence how places are understood, used, and transformed. CERG's research also contributes to a critical understanding of the dynamics of localized power, inclusion, and marginalization.

We have created a territorial foundation in Barichara, Colombia that is prototyping a form of bioregional governance. This is emerging through a tapestry of territorial processes and regenerative activities at the landscape scale. We organize around five thematic areas: 1) Regenerative Education 2) Regenerative Economy 3) Ecosystem Restoration 4) Cultural Regeneration 5) Healing & Spirituality All of this is built on a foundation of community philanthropy and participatory governance.

I'm excited to share our latest blog post, "Plutocrat Archipelagos." This insightful piece explores the complex interplay between wealth concentration and geographic isolation, examining how affluent individuals create enclaves that shape socio-economic landscapes. As we navigate an increasingly polarized world, understanding these dynamics is crucial for fostering inclusive growth and community cohesion. Dive into the full article to discover how these phenomena impact society at large and what implications they may hold for the future.
