City School Live Project
Minutes of meeting 3rd October 2007
Location: studio
Present: members of Live Project Team and Jeremy Till
The diagram of views of the project direction was explained to JT. JT suggested that it might be preferable to focus on the strands between consultation/involvement of the school community and BSF policy (see diagram in studio). He suggested an alternative diagram of points of focus: JT – although zero carbon might not be right (what constitutes a ‘sustainable school’?) this is part of our brief – about awareness
JT – suggested that we should contact Lucy Plumridge and AJ Taylor at HLM Sheffield to find out from them what would strategically be useful (action TR)
JT – will talk to Richard Simmonds at CABE on Monday suggesting that as a group we might create recommendations for the expansion of provision in BSF to include zero carbon schools as a case study (I think that’s what he said anyway!) JT can also provide a contact with Paul Monaghan – CABE director for Sheffield and S Yorkshire - CABE influence BSF so this can be a route to follow to open BSF beyond what it is currently doing JT suggested that there were three levels of what we could aim to achieve. The bottom line would be an event in the school to educate about zero carbon – the second level would be working with architects, making sustainability a serious consideration, Ken continuing in a fundraising role – the third level would be a movement/proposal for an expansion of environmental provision in BSF.
