Troubling Door Steps - Invitation for research

Troubling Door Steps

A survey for localised responses to global troubles
Hidden Keileon CIC is researching with our London local communities on investigating localised responses to global troubles.

The global polycrisis can feel overwhelming, where individual action seems too small to generate the necessary change. However, the power of collective community action is undeniable, and we believe that localised, grassroots efforts can serve as a beacon of hope amidst the larger-scale challenges.

We are approaching the topic through regenerative data collection, sustainable engagement, research and cultural production as a means to elevate grassroots effort. We aim to shift the narrative from despair to action by fostering local, community-driven social change.

Your organisation has been named by a grassroots organiser who is part of the network that has been impacting your local area, and we would love to hear how you respond to global troubles and any thoughts you have. As such, we would like to invite you to participate via this online survey. It will take about 5-10 minutes. You might be invited to a follow-up mapping session as part of the research.

We really appreciate you taking the time to fill out this form - if any of the questions aren’t clear, please chat to a member of the collective.

Thank you so much!
