The Turbines project is long term and relies on a lot of things working right. Basically We hope to work with some physics graduates from Cardiff University to build FROM SCRATCH 3 large wind turbines over the next 2 years.
From scratch meaning completely from scratch as in carving the blades from trees!!
At this stage we are still looking for funding and deciding the time scale but we are hoping to have a fully paid for residential course sometime after the summer to build the first one.
If you are interested then get in touch with Liam Hardy or Phin Harper who are currently looking for help managing this project. Looking for a challenge that could help DFs, Woodcraft Folk and the environment? Look no further!
The Turbine crew have worked before with affiliate of Woodcraft Folk in Wales the Welsh Youth Forum for Sustainable Development. See how their last project went here.
The District Fellows Movement is the 16-20 year old members of the co-operative educational youth charity, the woodcraft folk, whose ideology is based on the principles of equality, peace, social justice and co-operation, with an emphasis on the empowerment of young people.
DF meetings usually consist of a group of like minded individuals meeting up at a regular time and place (someone's house, or a pub for instance, or even a community hall if the group is large enough) and taking part in usual woodcraft activities. These activities range from co-operative games, orgainising events, workshops and discussions, and general socialising!
The DF movement also meets up on a national basis frequently, to hold both social, educational events and business events allowing everyone to be involved in the running of DF's...
