How to host a neighbourhood

You don't need to be a huge group or have loads of equipment to host a neighbourhood. The neighbourhoods should be self running, once people start arriving. The aim is for each neighbourhood to be as autonomous as possible, with its own kitchen or food serving facilities, alt-tech power source and meeting space. A neighbourhood could also include anything else you would like to bring, like a library, cinema, crèche or spaceship.

What is asked of hosts is that they facilitate meetings, discussions, and the distribution of food to 200ish people...

A group of 6 people with little equipment but a commitment to the project could easily host a neighbourhood.

The site practicalities group will link providers of resources (such as marquees, water, food and electricity) to groups who are interested in establishing neighbourhoods (please see our wish list). If you're interested in hosting a neighbourhood or are already in the process of getting one together contact the networking group at networking[at]climatecamp.org.uk

To help us match different collectives together please include as much of the following information as possible:

Structures:

• How many you will need?
• How big do you want (we are flexible!)
• How many you can provide (and the size of them)
• Whether you can bring any extras

Power sources

• Do you have or can you find/borrow any alt-tech power sources (solar panels, wind generators)

Power needs

• Do you plan to run any high energy equipment, if so how may kilowatts will it use and why do you need to use it.

Lighting

• Are you able to bring any lighting for your neighborhood communal spaces (inside/outside)

Kitchens

• Do you have a already have a kitchen linked to your neighborhood
• Do you need any kitchen equipment that can form the basis of a kitchen
• Do you have any extra kitchen equipment which can be used by other neighborhoods

Groups which have no kitchen equipment are asked to bring as much food serving equipment as they can so that they can distribute food from larger kitchens (ie get yourselves a few big pots). You can host a neighborhood with out any kitchen equipment.

Seating/Flooring

• Do you have access to any seating (chairs or the making of benches)?
• Do you need flooring (old carpets, coconut matting etc?)
• Can you bring any extra?

Transport

• Do you have transport to get your things to the camp..
• Do you have any extra room to transport things from other sources.

Is there anything else that would be useful for us to know?
