The Community Game, a means to switiching communites on to living economics and more

[Laurence Boomert]

Here is a way to help people to be more effective and self directed in creating a better world at the local level. Its called the Community Game The Community Game

Its simple aim is to upskill people to be more effective in creating better local communities. It has a very strong living economies component

Just as SeniorNet identified a significant demographic who were missing out on the benefits of IT, we have identified advancements in: project management, resource mapping, community engagement and creative funding that we want to get into the hands of people who understand the value of living in connected progressive communities.

Our goal is to bridge the knowledge gap between what people could be using to make their communities better and what they actually are using, and to train them up quickly and effectively.

So we have developed an intensive, experiential, fun weekend learning experience - The Community Game to bring together up to 100 people at a time to upskill in these tools and systems. A training course for the smart communities of the 21st Century.

By bringing together a large group from different ages and sectors for a weekend, we create a phenomenon of real community within the event while exposing the talents, skills and capacity to make things happen that any community latently has. Much of the learning is achieved through application to real projects that participants choose.

The secret of bringing such a group together is our pitch to the A-Z of groups & associations, schools (and some businesses) within a community. By default most groups (even sports and recreation) have some collective motivation that can possibly be engaged to the wider good.

With The Game we aim to get representatives from ALL the community rather than with just say ‘green’ initiatives or things like Transition Towns (of which I am both fond) where inevitably 80% of a community find conceptual reasons why not to engage

Our underlying goal is to help enable rapid total transformation of our society to a sustainable thriving culture for everyone.
