Big Society is an about people tak ing ownership
of the i r communit ies , l i tera l ly bui ld ing them
together.
Facilitation is about understanding your
resources, connecting them in new ways. This includes people’s ideas, aspirations, skills and
talents.
With an asset-based approach lightweight
‘connecting’ projects can be designed magically
from little or no financial resource.
LEARNING DREAMSMinnesota
Jerry Stein knocked on doors asking what people would like to learn. This could be
baking, learning to drive a car, read or write. He then knocked on doors until he found
someone that could enable that learning, by babysitting perhaps or by direct teaching.
The result is a community networked through generosity around learning, effectively
unlocking hidden capacity. Attendance has gone from 60% - 100% at local schools.
Connection is created through engaging
people in new and old ways through
understanding and creatively using
common denominators

MENS SHEDSAustralia
There are over 500 community managed Mens Shed in Australia. Research into the overall
effects of the sheds have discovered the benefits of this type of productive connection
show that the men have higher levels of wellbeing that has rippled out in the
communities, creating widespread cohesion and intergenerational activity.
PEOPLE’S SUPERMARKET
London
The People’s Supermarket is based on a community model where customers can also
become members and qualify for discounts on their shopping. Members fulfil a number of hours working in the shop giving them the opportunity to meet a wide range of local community members and become more
integral to the community.
FALLEN FRUITLA
The Fallen Fruit project in LA is a community harvesting project collects fruit overhanging pavements. The project captured people’s
imagination when they began their night walks, gathering 100s of people along the way. The project has huge Public Jam making sessions and tree planting projets - allowing people to engage in community in a light and enjoyable
way creating new productive ways for the community to interact.
(Also see Grow Sheffield and Incredible Edibles in the UK)
PIELABAllabama
PieLab shows us what new types of community centre might look like. Starting
as a pop-up pie shop, the project now occupies a large full-time high street shop where they continue to sell pies, but act
predominantly as a new type of community space where people are invited to hold
creative and social events.
POP UP TEA ROOMBirmingham
A range of meanwhile projects sponsored by Birmingham City Council. This has included
pop up tea rooms where the community have come to meet. Another example of new style community spaces, stimulated by the idea of
using underused spaces.
HOTEL TRANSVAALThe Hague
TextHotel Treansvaal utilises the social structure of the neighbourhood Transvaal in the Hague, a
neighbourhood undergoing urban renewal. Due to the urban restructuring, a lot of the social
apartment blocks have been schedule to disappear. Hotel Transvaal (2006) could be
seen as an inverted hotel, the neighbourhood as a whole functions as a hotel. In a centrally placed building, a restaurant, internet café, gallery and a number of hotel rooms was
realised. They act as a meeting place, where hotel guests from the other hotel rooms come into contact with each other and people from
the neighbourhood.
“The next generation of true innovation is going to be achieved by the collective, not
by the lone genius.”
Larry Brilliant
