More cross pollination: Kufunda, Uhuru and 12 leaders from Boston!

A dozen leaders from non-profits in Boston, an urban network of social change collectives, and a permaculture education center spending the afternoon together... and me! What fun!

After weeks of spending time at the Uhuru Center in Highfields Township, I suddenly found myself packed into a room with many members of both Kufunda and Uhuru, as well as the non-profit leaders from Boston (see previous post for explanation).

Here's a clip from the introductions:

After introductions, we split up into more of an open space forum, with activities and conversations with each Uhuru Collective.

In the next room over was a demonstration of the Media Collective’s work, as well as a deep conversation about freedom of speech and journalism.

This video is a little narrated tour of the action:
