Survey:

1. During the 2 months survey we gather information about already existing material online in the form of infographics, articles, documents, professional services and projects in favour of using the NBS mentioned above and document the resources found in a NextCloud folder and spreadsheet with links.

2. During this stage we also search for legislation and list interesting resources or research papers mentioning such legislation in a spreadsheet and NextCloud folder.

Analysis: During this 2 months’ phase we go through the materials found and identify the top 3 case studies, the top 3 legal frameworks to work within and the top 3 habits to adopt for optimal reuse of your domestic waste waters

Design: In the last phase of again 2 months we will edit the data and the raw material, and pour it into an informative, professional looking, educational slideshow presentation that can be shared online.

• 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.
