W H A T I S A L L T H I S C O M M U N I T Y S P I R I T A B O U T A N Y W A Y ? Written by Lynne Bygrave Some may say it is a dying art or it has been lost forever in our new world of technology and ‘social’ media. Back in the day when people used to share and help each other out, maybe, pop next door for a cup of sugar when they run out. People that lived in a community would watch out for each other and think about the lonely lady who lived down the road. It is hard to find this now with the way we have evolved into the digital world. The irony of it though, is that ‘social’ media is not actually that sociable. When was the last time you jumped on the metro and somebody said ‘Hello, Good morning, Buenos dias’? All you see is the tops of people’s heads now, even the family meal get together around the table seems to have disappeared. Richard saw this big hole in our lives and decided he would fill it with a revival of community spirit, digital version. Instead of technology ruling our lives community spirit intends to use technology to work for us and help bring back the community values that were available in the past. Stepping back in time is not always a good thing, but stepping back to collect something you left behind can have a positive effect on our future. The proof of the need for a revival of community spirit has already manifested itself by the rapid growth of the community spirit magazine and now the round table meetings. The meetings are a great place to have an informal get together to bounce ideas off of each other and wow did we come up with some good ideas, all of which will be published in the monthly e-magazine for anyone who wishes to join the active group. As you will see in the e-magazines the projects that were put forward are all to do with helping each other out and those around us and truly caring for each other and our neighbours and beyond. This is not just another expat group get together in the Valencia area this is different because it has wings to reach out and the sky is truly the limit. This maybe called the ‘Community Spirit’ but in reality it is the spirit of the community making things happen. 1 0 C O M M U N I T Y S P I R I T V A L E N C I A
MINUTES FROM ROUNDTABLE MEETING - AUGUST 24TH, 2018 steps Big as the forward event first a large attracts I am turnout. arranging now 2nd monthly a for meeting If you don't know what the Rountable Meetings are about, let me explain. At the first meeting held on 24th August 2018, I asked people who attended the meeting what projects they felt were important for the community to support in the towns around Lliria. I also asked people what kind of support and help they were willing to give and types of volunteer roles that they would like take on? Going forward, the Rountable Meetings will be an opportunity to connect with like-minded people in the community, to be updated on progress and things which have happened in the community since the last meeting. It is also an opportunity to discouss new ideas and put them to the vote to see if it is something which the community is willing to support. I am now organising a second monthly meeting to be held a Zaitune cafe/restaurent in Russafa for people living in Valencia. I will bridge the two groups together, so that they support each other.
