Field Notes on Culture and Change
The Field Guide is part story, part toolkit, part invitation.
It gathers intoBodmin's learning from eight years of community and cultural work in Bodmin - and turns it into a set of tools, frameworks and prompts for anyone trying to build connection, culture and change in a place that has been overlooked, fragmented or underestimated.

Take it further - the Field Guide Training Series
The Field Guide is the thinking. The training series is where you apply it.
intoBodmin is running four practical training days based on the Field Guide - each one focused on a different challenge facing community organisations, councils and cultural workers. Participants work on their own projects, organisations or places throughout the day, using Field Guide tools they can take away and use immediately.
Purchase a place at all four (or four places at one) and you'll recieve once place for free.
