Workshops

LAP crash test & improvements:  the second part of the “crash test” aimed at building on the first day critics to propose an evolved version of the LAP and test it a second time for improvements. This session was shortened, thus partners couldn’t propose evolved version of their LAP. However, they discussed their LAP with their LSG or other partners.

Mayors challenge – A vision for Bristol (The Learn Grow Eat Revolution): the Mayors challenge has been initiated by NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg last year in the USA. It has been launched in Europe this year with 155 applications (by city halls). The aim of this challenge is for organizations to submit their ideas for a better cities to their elected officials. Then, the elected official choose one project to submit to the Mayors challenge. In Bristol, the Learn Grow Eat Revolution was selected for the challenge. The project is to build a “Good Food Market” which is an alternative supermarket (local food, purchasing directly from the producers as much as possible…). The project will be implemented in a food desert where 23% of the people do not have an easy access to fresh food. A survey was conducted and showed that 80% of the people around the area said what they need most is a supermarket. But the project aims also at job creation (lots of unemployment in the area) and education, training to the food system.
