A MUSIC FESTIVAL IN BRISTOL, FOR THE FUTURE
As part of FORWARDS 2024 we are happy to announce a new partnership with Town Anywhere, lead by Ruth Ben-Tovim & Rob Hopkins. Town Anywhere will bring a wide cross section of people together to imagine, build and then inhabit a positive vision of our City in the future.
What are the models for an alternative Town Centre where all beings can thrive? Can we imagine what a Zero Carbon High Street would be like that’s based on wellbeing and connection? A place where the social, economic, and cultural life of a town are interlinked? How would decisions be made? What new forms of learning and exchange could we use? How could we care for each other for the planet and for future generations? What and how would we come together to celebrate?
