1000 Better Stories: "GO Torry - growing resilience one year after peoples' assembly"

Scottish Communities Climate Action Network's Story Weaver, Kaska, revisits Torry in Aberdeen for a GO Torry event, celebrating community's growing resilience in the wake of People's Assembly and its Declaration in Spring 2023. We hear of RAAC (Reinforced Autoclaved Aerated Concrete) and retrofit, outdoor classrooms and stealthy resistance, poetry and a community with a heart.
