We could do well to take a leaf out of Nigerian, Costa Rican, and Tanzanian books…

As a global measure of social, emotional and cognitive wellbeing it’s a damning indictment of wealthier economies’ business as usual approach.

This is incredibly powerful. Aside from the words on the card, the unwritten words are “ I see you, I see your business, I value you and I value your business.” Imagine if all consumers were able to connect on this level with where the people who grow/produce their food.

Wow Big Retreat Festival! 🌞 Thank you EVERYONE who helped, volunteered, contributed, talked, sang, danced, created, laughed, listened, smiled, and shared the amazing weekend with us 🙏

Day 2, magic, moonlight, and an incoming tide….
(And an amazing shark man in our tent with his head in a bucket…)

If you care about the future of UK politics I recommend watching this.

This is full of really important insights! Love the creative journey from anxiety to agency! 💚⚔️🙂

It’s been a busy year for learning and doing differently… 2023 here we come!

How do we harness the collective creative energies of neuroscientists, artists, tech-wizards and story-tellers to carbon-smart futures…? Start by putting them all in the same room…(with Welsh cakes). Thanks Beyond Conf Cardiff for an inspiring 2 days. Brain already fizzing..🔥

Whilst the economy is going bonkers, let's turn to conkers for a bit of common sense on economic models that work. Like circular ones that are mutually self-supporting, inclusive and regenerative.

Extraordinary letter in @ft from former UK defence attaché at Moscow embassy - we warned you about Putin but you listened to the City instead

Chart of the week courtesy of the New Statesman. We’re footing Putin’s war bill at eye-watering levels. Daily. If climate change isn’t convincing enough a reason for you, perhaps this might be.

Making sense of energy price rises is important. They’re going to be the cause of a lot of poverty in the UK, soon. So, I’ve been doing some analysis. What follow is a bit simplified, but not too much. What it reveals is that you’re about to be ripped off, massively. A thread….

The arrival of the Tiger gives me the perfect opportunity (only comes once every 12 years) to share one of my favourite Chinese proverbs: 骑虎难下 - ‘if you ride a tiger, you may have difficulty getting off…’ I say - Let it roar, and hold on tight…;-)

虎年快乐 Happy New Year of the Tiger to all Cymbrogi Comrades! With a bit of creative collaboration we can all be tigers if we want to be…
How will you bring a bit of tiger into your classroom this year? ;-)

Really looking forward to sharing DRY Project resources about drought and discuss eco-literacy. What are children in your classrooms reading?? Research from UWE Bristol UWE Education & Childhood Research Group (ECRG) Ele Fountain Nicola Davies Polly Ho-Yen

A freshly-foraged, free, slightly wonky, homemade Christmas tree-like thing. Courtesy of the back garden and a handy hedgerow. Why cut one down when you can make your own? A crafty snip here, a judicious cut there... #creativechristmas

Time to measure the right things. Footprint is easy. It's the shadow that follows you that counts... mic.com/impact/forget-…

Not an easy read, but an important and powerful one. Creatives everywhere… the pen is mightier than the sword.

Youth boards. Every organisation should have one. Quite exciting to imagine what a #Boardroom2030 might look like - especially after hearing the awesome young voices at COP26 these last few days...

If you thought everything that needs to be said on climate change has been said, think again. Succinct, powerful, big picture, small picture, global to local.. it's all here in 8 minutes. The women speakers at COP26 are knocking it outta the park... youtube.com/watch?v=PN6THY…
