Module 6: Building a wellbeing economy movement
Success needs to be celebrated!
When experiments on how to shape the new economy are successful, make sure to share them widely, through case study descriptions, podcasts, presentations and knowledge sharing events. Illuminating successful stories of change is also one of the shared objectives of WEAll, ZOE and DEAl, to illustrate what a wellbeing economy can look like in practice and give others confidence to join in the movement.
From dumpsite to dreamscape.
Tempo Arts Centre in Nairobi (Kenya) shows what is possible when people come together. It is a testament to community resilience and the transformative power of art. Situated in Nairobi (Kenya), near the Dandora dumpsite, the area was once a neglected quarry with polluted waterways. Through the work of a community-organisation it is now a place where clean water flows, fruit trees grow and roots take hold. A place that creates belonging and empowers youth from surrounding informal settlements through training in music, dance, drama, poetry, acrobatics, and visual arts.
