WHAT IS SOIL EXCHANGE?
'soil exchange' is a project in which international participants share art, ideas, information and more with other people in other places.
Where do you stand?
Launched in June 2009, soil exchange exists to make connections between people, to open discussion and debate on issues relating to our environment, our country and our connection to the earth beneath our feet.
At a time of such disconnection, soil exchange aims to break down boundaries to build meaningful connections between people.
Participants are encouraged to exchange with other users in another part of the world and create content to share online and by post. The idea is to make connections across borders and engage in dialogue with other members on the issues raised. Members use photographs, video content, postcards, interesting events and blog entries to stay in touch with other exchangers. There are no limits on how many times users can exchange or with how many people.
Have a look round to see some of the ideas already being exchanged!
