REGEN GIPPSLAND are FLOAT’s amazing partners and support crew in this process of saving the world. Please read the report by Dr Megan Simic that RG commissoned - it explains it all perfectly. And probably tell you why it’s important for folk like you to join us. THE ART OF THE FLANEUR
The experience is grounded in the CREATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP that FLOAT is built on. All participants will be equipped with their own NATURE JOTTING satchel that will help them look, listen, snap, and scribble their en-route notes and pix from which we will assemble and install a pop-up gallery + zine created by our flaneurs. Our stories will engage a new generation in an alternative future for our forests and far east communities. http://www.float3909.com/flaneur-path
