Reskilling the Valley project - Dedham Vale AONB & Stour Valley
The Reskilling the valley booklet is now available.... download here..... Our next reskilling events can be found here .
The Apricot Centre with the support of the Dedham Vale AONB Sustainable Development Fund is researching the available skills and techniques to support a sustainable and local lifestyle in the Dedham Vale AONB (Area of Outstanding natural Beauty) and the Stour valley. The project is finding the the keepers of these skills, personally interviewing and recording them, then helping to transfer these skills to the younger generation in a style which is creative and fun for all involved.
Over the next 20 – 30 years the way we live in the Dedham Vale and; Stour Valley will have to change dramatically to a “post peak oil” and “climate change” lifestyle, one that is re-localised and less dependent upon oil and carbon sources of energy. Some of the changes will use modern technologies and ideas but some will draw on skills from the past.
