Thank you @raechelkelly.bsky.social and it was also great to learn from your empathetic and observant ways, as with the exemplary @lornaprescott.bsky.social and Jo Orchard-Webb
This was such a joy to be part of, with thanks to @lornaprescott.bsky.social Jo Orchard Webb and everyone at Co Lab Dudley, especially the Dudley People’s School of Climate Justice crew! And especially @bridgetmck.bsky.social ‘s insight and ways of drawing connections 🌍 ❤️ 🌱
Got a bit of writing done. It’s been heartening remembering two days in Dudley this spring with @bridgetmck.bsky.social @raechelkelly.bsky.social and our local collaborators, going about evaluation in a deeply relational and generative way.
