It may be an experience common to many people in the social and community development sector, but we find that huge strides can be taken when the right individuals and organisations come together for a concentrated and undistracted period of work. For this reason, the planning we do for all our work on scaling and replication includes such a workshop at its centre.
This was also the case for a relatively short contribution we made to the work of Green Economy Canada earlier this year. Green Economy Canada is a practical and progressive organisation that works with community organisations to launch and grow Green Economy Hubs across Canada. Hubs work with local businesses to set and achieve sustainability targets — bringing together, supporting, and celebrating businesses as they achieve their goals. We proposed a set of workshop sessions to be conducted through a period of five days in which the team came together in Toronto.
The materials produced by Green Economy Canada are universally visually strong and engaging. They focus on the value of Green Economy Hubs in towns and cities as a scaleable means of engaging enterprises of many different types in climate action. Their guide to communities interested in establishing a local Green Economy Hub talks about engaging and supporting local businesses to drive the transition to a greener economy, as well as the role of mobilising business in the sustainability vision and plans for a community.
