| Description: |
Appalachia is made up of many mountains, many communities and many different sectors of work. The Appalachian Transition Fellows based out of the Highlander Education Center have spent 9 months working throughout central Appalachia to build cross sector bridges and to help further a positive growth in the region’s economy. Through the fellowship people are working with different models of transition, including value chains, worker owner cooperatives, local food initiatives, policy making, etc. In this session we will be breaking out into different groups each led by one or two fellows to talk about various ways these different models could be beneficial in different communities in Appalachia. There is value in working not only across county and state lines, but also working across economic sector boundaries. This is a workshop to understand the different models being used and to further discuss how to growth between these models for a more diverse and stronger Appalachian economy. |
