• Updated aims due to lack of funding through the Emergent festival –
• The project can continue as planned within this budget. Proposed work within this budget is as follows:
  Jemma, Rakesh and Ewan have two 1.5 hour meetings (total 9 hours work at suggested hourly rates).
  Rakesh 3 x 25h  = £75
  Jemma 3 x 25h = £75
  Ewan 3 x 22h = £66Total £216
• These meetings will cover the first two items from phase one:
  Phase one: research & planning– Identify affordances, limitations and potential for the Mozilla Hubs platform
  – Explore and identify suitable permaculture themes and concepts based on the above.
• By the end of this the outputs will be;
• – notes documenting the process
  – recordings of the sessions that can be shared with CoLab and our educator and permaculture networks
• The remaining budget will be used to edit the notes and recordings to make sure they are useful for distribution for others to learn from.Ewan 0.5h x £22 = £11I will seek further funding for continuation of the work, with the aim to complete a usable prototype for testing and sharing.
