Angus Soutar from the Northern School was fortunate to be invited to attend the Devolve Futures Seminar in Oxford, Middle England, on the 28th September 2013. The day was quite intensive, with around 20 people making some kind of presentation. Nevertheless, proceedings ran smoothly, under the skilled guidance of Andrew Langford from the Gaia University .
Angus enjoyed delivering the opening presentation, an irreverant "Cook's Tour" of housing and communities, past, present and future. An extended copy of the presentation slides, together with useful links, is available futher down this page.
Many thanks to Woody and the Devolve team, also to the welcoming Friends Meeting House.
