Rethreading the World
Read, Repair, Remake and Let’s Talk About Doughnut Economics
23 November – 23 December
Share, repair, re-purpose, reduce waste and re - imagine prosperity; this is what Kate Raworth advocates in her book DOUGHNUT ECONOMICS : Seven Ways to Think Like a 21st - Century Economist.
Inspired by this, the Read, Repair, Remake group began meeting at the Jericho Community Centre. Fuelled by fairtrade tea and biscuits, they repair clothes, read the book, and think about how to create a thriving Oxford for all.
They learn from each other, sharing skills handed down from different families and cultures; passing on heritage that would be lost in a throw-away economy. They reduce waste by repairing and the hands on activity enables them to share information, and think together about their shared futures.
Read, Repair, Remake are one of the many such projects creating positive change in Oxfordshire.
