Social Spaces

Written by Dr. Jerry Stein

Learning Dreams is excited to partner with Social Spaces, a U.K. organization dedicated to helping community advocates use creative and unexpected methods to mold their communities into thriving places.

By offering free workshops, publishing a book on innovative neighborhood organizations, and supporting research on innovation in communities Social Spaces hopes to create a supportive, linked network of community activists worldwide.

Co-founders Tessy Briton and David Gauntlett have created some really amazing projects related to community capacity building. Check out the Travelling Pantry, a free community consulting and research effort of Social Spaces that is traveling across the U.K. this fall.
