Medieval Modern
Tackling Uncertainty Across the Centuries: Medievals and Moderns in Conversation
How can the long-history of rural communities inform rural innovation today ?
New types of action are called for to support thriving rural communities. These need to be locally rooted, accountable, and work to the wider benefit of all.
We are developing a series of interventions which are influenced by our understanding of medieval community. These are place-based responses that include new ways of captruing and sharing stories of community and local histories.
