1000 Better Stories - Un pódcast de Scottish Communities Climate Action Network - Lunes

Our Story Weaver, Kaska Hempel, talks to Hollis, a volunteer involved in Dundee’s Wee Forest project. The story is the final in a 5-part series of weekly interviews with members of Dundee Community Garden Network (Grow Dundee) recorded this June, and an audio tour exploring the meaning and impact of community gardening.  You can find a draft of the audio tour here:   https://izi.travel/en/ff0a-dundee-community-garden-network-draft/en  WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!  We are looking for micro-story contributions about your community’s climate and social justice achievements this year so that we can include them in the next few episodes. If you or your community organisation had some proud moments, if you managed to create real glimpses of what’s truly possible or if you simply kept going against all odds please share it with our audience.
