Chris describing prefigurative: “The things that root me are Gandhi, that saying we should be the change we wish to see in the world. So for me, it's about action that embodies the future that you want to see in the world. Being the future now.” 

This episode weaves together two conversations about two residentials the core team of Social Action Inquiry Scotland took part in with some of our allies Chris Taylor, Nick Ellerby, Laurie Spafford, Callum Pethick, Andy Falconer. In these conversations they explore the concept of prefigurative social action and being the change, you want to see in the world.  

The first half of the conversation involves Laurie Spafford, Chris Taylor and Catherine-Rose Stock-Rankin (Co-Chair at Social Action Inquiry Scotland) and the second half involves Laurie Spafford, Deborah Menezes (Co-Lead at Social Action Inquiry Scotland) and Callum Pethick. This episode has reflections from Amanda Wootton (Creative Communications Officer at Social Action Inquiry Scotland).
