Better Communities Project
We believe in teamwork and local solutions. We also believe that there's not much we can't achieve when we work together, guided by a purpose and strong values.
Local communities are vital to a healthy society and contribute greatly to the health and well-being of its citizens. Our vision of the future includes greater community participation and an improved sense of inclusion and belonging.
​
Our Better Communities Project is an initiative that helps co-ordinate, promote, and fund local project teams. We can assist with ideas that are intended to create positive change at a local level and that align with our purpose and values*.
​
*Men's School does not organise or control local projects, but works to encourage and facilitate them through our network.
Projects might include:
-
Local market days (for sales, barter, or swap)
-
Skills workshops (e.g. instructor-led sessions to learn skills such home maintenance, mechanical repair, carpentry, community gardening, outdoor survival skills)
-
Volunteering
-
Plans for affordable and communal housing, including strategies for sustainable lifestyles
-
Collaborative and group-funded 'community cornerstones' such as community gardens, local businesses, gyms, libraries, and meeting places.
