Emily Creamer - Encouraging sustainable lifestyles through community-led acti...Sustainable Lifestyles Research Group
This document summarizes a research study on two remote rural communities in Scotland that received grant funding through the Climate Challenge Fund to support community-led sustainability projects. The main findings were that 1) the short timescales of grants did not align with the long-term goals of community groups, 2) the administration requirements of grants diverted attention away from community engagement, and 3) the grants exacerbated local competition and rivalries. Overall, the study found that while grant funding is important for supporting community initiatives, it does not necessarily empower communities or ensure initiatives are representative of the broader community. A nuanced, networked approach is needed that incorporates community, management, and representative forms of local governance.Youth United Way Brochure
The Youth United Way mission is to expand leadership qualities in students through volunteering, fundraising, and involvement with United Way initiatives. Students develop leadership skills by electing officers, participating in meetings, coordinating fundraisers, and being involved in allocation decisions. Youth United Way students volunteer with the United Way campaign and community service projects with other nonprofits.
ECCP YPC 2016 Introduction and Overview of Activities
The document outlines the team and leadership roles for an organization and lists some of its programs and activities, including mentorship, learning sessions, advocacy, coastal cleanup, a mountain climb bringing books for a library, and networking opportunities through access to the organization's network. It provides the names of the chair, co-chairs for membership and events, and leads for finance, industry, communications, and advocacy.
Regeneration with a human face
These slides were used to illustrate a lecture at Sheffield University, 'Regeneration with a human face: responsible urban recovery'. They look at the problem of knowing 'what works' in regeneration and propose six people-centred approaches that can help us move forward. You can read the full text of the lecture here: http://urbanpollinators.co.uk/?page_id=1820
Heathcote Inaugural Games Info (3B)
The document discusses the Community Games AUS model, which aims to promote community empowerment, inclusiveness, and active lifestyles in rural and regional Australia. It provides an example of the successful Heathcote Community Games, which brings together community members of all ages and abilities through sports and social activities. Over the next few years, the organizers plan to expand the games to involve more surrounding small towns and communities, all while continuing to evaluate and improve the model. The goal is to develop an established Australian model of community games that can be implemented nationally by other rural communities through resources like training, a toolkit, and a website.
Why we need slow policy
The Slow Food movement challenged the poor quality and damaging effects of fast food. Now we need a Slow Policy movement to tackle the damaging effects of government policy processes.
Can a big society be a fair society?
Is it possible for a big society to be a fair society? This presentation, given at the VONNE policy forum on 22 October, explores some of the dilemmas.
Rebuilding After Emergencies: Some Comments
The document discusses factors that affect recovery after natural disasters, using examples from Aceh, Indonesia after the 2004 tsunami. It finds that:
1) Massive aid can help rebuild physical capital like housing quickly but also introduces outside influences that change village life.
2) Aid was largely uncoordinated, with many NGOs competing and little oversight, affecting recovery trajectories across villages.
3) The type of aid agency, whether it was also the donor or just an implementer, affected the quality and sustainability of rebuilding efforts and level of community participation.
4) Introducing elections for village heads after the disaster shifted power from elites and was correlated with less community volunteerism in rebuilding

Regeneration in a cold climate: from policy change to behaviour change
This presentation examines why we need to rethink the idea of regeneration, including the role of social housing and the nature of 'work' to create real value for people in disadvantaged neighbourhoods. It looks at the idea of coproduction and argues for an 'urban acupuncture' approach with small, significant interventions.

DownStreams pitch for #floodhack Feb 2014
DownStreams is a social enterprise that connects upstream and downstream communities to prevent flooding. It links communities financially and socially to provide flood prevention opportunities through crowdfunding and volunteering. The social enterprise helps communities understand flood risks, funds upstream prevention projects, and enables volunteering like tree planting. The goals are to reduce flood risk, improve the environment, bring communities together, and increase company and public engagement and funding for solutions.

This document proposes a solution to help homeless people reintegrate into society by hiring them to collect garbage and clean streets. Revenue would come from selling advertising space on modified garbage bins. Proceeds would pay the homeless workers, maintain the bins, and use alternative transportation like bikes to reduce pollution. The goal is to help the homeless become self-sufficient through stable employment while also saving cities money on cleaning costs.
Into the wild: research 'impact' and the curious world of public policy
This document summarizes research on the high street and efforts to impact public policy. It discusses 3 case studies: 1) how knowledge about skills for sustainable communities was ignored by governments, 2) how the "big society" narrative undermined community development knowledge, and 3) how research on food banks and welfare reform is consistently ignored. It reflects on challenges of impact including losing control of the research narrative, policy preferences determining research agendas, differing definitions of impact between researchers and policymakers, and impact being more about self-presentation than influence. It proposes an agenda for impact that sees impact as provisional, challenges canonical knowledge, is inclusive of participant views, and disturbs rather than just reinforces the status quo.
Bricks without straw - and the regeneration alternative

This document discusses concepts related to information and communication technologies (ICTs) and provides an index of references. It examines how ICTs can help or hinder personal experiences through three examples: AINIDIU discusses aids, CANDI analyzes challenges, and HELPMI considers how technology can help or hurt people. The index lists a single reference from a 2012 IEEE workshop on engineering applications that is related to the topic.

This document discusses network virtualization and its history. It provides the following key points:
1) Network virtualization aims to decouple virtual networks from physical infrastructure through techniques like tunneling and encapsulation, allowing independent address spaces and topologies.
2) Early work included overlay networks for deployment and experimentation. Virtualization is now used in data centers to isolate tenant traffic and connect virtual machines across sites.
3) The OpenVirteX project aims to advance network virtualization by exposing the entire physical topology to virtual network controllers and allowing independent address spaces and topologies through header rewriting. This would provide more flexibility than existing solutions.
