Together we grow - uplifting movie night - Hastings
Event description
Together We Grow is a 40-minute documentary that tells the inspiring story of a thriving hub helping to build resilience into its local community by growing, sewing, repairing, sharing – you name it, Common Unity is doing it! The Environment Centre has a vision of a network these hubs throughout communities in Hawke's Bay. With community cyclone response a number of pop up community hubs, halls and centres have popped up, imagine these developing further.
Too many of our communities, here and around the world, are facing housing crises, food insecurity, social isolation, and more. In addition, the multiple impacts of the Covid pandemic and climate change are current and ongoing. How can we most effectively confront these challenges, and help our communities thrive in an economic system that leaves many feeling trapped in poverty?
Founder Julia Milne and her team have created a completely replicable
model for developing strong, connected, resilient communities – a model
that could be put in place across thousands of communities in Aotearoa
and millions of communities across the world. They’ve proven it can be
done, this film was made to help them share the story.
