CoLab Dudley
We cultivate community-led action that invites people to think differently about the places they live, work and play in.

Instigated by Dudley CVS, CoLab Dudley is one of many ways that we are cultivating community-led action. The CoLab Dudley team bring local people together to lead or contribute to collective enquiries and experiments. Through these communities are invited to share and deepen their knowledges, skills and relationships with people and place.
CoLab Dudley is currently working on the following three strands of activity. You can find out more about the team and this work at colabdudley.net

Restorying our relationships with land is about learning to live in harmony with the ecological, cultural and historical realities of our place.
