We are working with Loconomy to support their “Coalition for Impact” programme, bringing together community anchor organisations in three east Birmingham neighbourhoods to co create local Community Economic Development Plans and new initiatives to promote an inclusive local economy.
We are organising a series of workshops to map social and economic assets, and the lived experience, of local communities in the three neighbourhoods. Mapping assets collaboratively across organisations can reveal knowledge and insights that may be otherwise hidden. It is a powerful tool in pooling knowledge between individuals or partners who do not regularly work together, for sparking ideas and fresh thinking about how to develop local assets and to cut across the siloes and structures that can inhibit innovative thinking.
