Gothenborg, Galaxen farm…
The galaxy is a non-profit organization. Its aim is to create recreational activities for children, youth and adults. It became a city farm and is served by volunteer-driven youth. There is a Cafe that offer drinks and housemade food, there is an area for children and teenagere to play after school. The farm own a small garden in which during the summer the volunteers grow vegetable. In the farm they have animals to take care. So they organize some day camps in the summer, where kids can participate in all the work being done on the farm, this gives the children a sense of responsiveness and responsibility
Reminder about theMicro-consulting:A local initiative/project hosts a visit and asks the visitors in exchange for a micro-consulting on a problem they face. A specific question is asked in advance and participating visitors use their own experiences to find solutions.The aim of the Micro-consulting tool is first to stimulate the field visits during transnational meetings. Beyond engaging the representatives of the participating partners into active visiting, the result is to apply the multiples know-hows available directly to local cases, as well as the experiences and cultural points of view they represent. If not all, key actions of the LAP could benefit from this booster and align to best practices.
MICRO-CONSULTING Tips & notes for implementation:
The Micro-consulting session should be prepared in advance: it cannot be improvised in the last minute or as a round table of comments;
Define a clear and concise question that the host initiative will ask to the visiting consortium: how can we justify private food production on public land? How can we involve the local inhabitants? etc. rather than vague what do you think of our initiative? Possibly match in advance capabilities you know are available in the consortium with potential local requests;
Elaborate the question with the local partners when you set the visit. Pay attention to the fact that the local partner should be comfortable with what will be asked and with language issues;
Express clearly the ‘rules of the game’ as: shorter visit focused around the question; ensure a comfortable place for everyone but not necessarily seated; rephrase and explain the question for 5 min.; visiting consultants each prepare 1 response they would like to develop; round of consulting proposals; local host to choose 4 contributions; each contributors presents for 5 min.; local host wraps up in 5 min. lessons learnt (videotaped);

Lyon, Social and Solidarity grocery shop…
The original grocery “La passerelle” is a social business that fosters a mix of the population working on two types of clients: 'beneficiaries' accessing mainly food charity stock and 'solidarity clients' attracted by organic food sold at fair but full market price to them. Both evolve in the same space the one providing better margin to the shop that are reinvested in giving to the other a discount on organic and fresh food.
