The Action Mill

Place: Arqva

Toolbox Prototype, 2010


"This tool box was designed after spending two weeks in Murcia working with community members who are concerned with decisions about public funding made without sufficient public input. We created this tool box as a way to share some of the methods we use in our work to address intractable problems. These tools are intended to help community organisations and individuals design their own actions that make tangible change in their communities."

The Action Mill is a collective that helps people forge their own solutions to the problems they face. Combining techniques from design, community organising, and non-violent direct action, it creates tools that have tangible social impact. These tools allow people to create the world they want to live in rather than describe it, and as such they constantly strive to move beyond the symbolic and toward the actual. The Action Mill believes that the direct experience of change is the most powerful tool available, and that individuals and groups contain within themselves the solutions to many of their problems, though those solutions may be far from obvious. To find them, we challenge individuals and groups to see beyond the usual dividing lines and dogmatic arguments, asking new questions in order to find practical strategies for change.
