Hey there Sure I will. I have some little things to do until 10:30 AM, so I will join you probably 1 hour later.
I would love to join the cycling activity today, but my bike has some problems, so I will not participate this time. :(
Have a nice evening and see you soon.
maybe we get a bike for you, let’s try
Very cool that you are joining us tomorrow!
But even tonight - it should work with the bikes, I can check with the bike shop soon, please get in touch with me if you feel like trying, call within an hour from now, to check if there is still a free bike to take, and join:)
cycling with ties - this doesn’t happen every day in Yerevan, common:)!
Sounds great!
I don’t have a tie with me But anyway, I’m gonna call/text you in an hour to get more concrete info
Save Theghut?
Hi Anahit, how’s it going? Hope you had wonderful holidays. Myself, ehm, unfortunately I had to spend the whole Sunday and Monday traveling from Yerevan to Tbilisi and then Bucharest…
I was wondering if you’d be up for sharing the story of how the Save Theghut movement begun, how you got involved and why (it would probably go well in a separate post?). I hope there’s material about this on the net, also in English, for further readings… If my memory doesn’t fail me, there was someone else in the room involved in this initiative, who was it?
Do you remember who was involved in the Mashtotz Park movement, so I can reach out to them for more information? Thanks, keep in touch!!
Hey there
Hope you had a safe trip. Well, sure I am up to share our story about Teghut initiative, there was Arpine who is also from our group and Lilit. Actually, the boy that came 2nd day, told about Mashtots park, but me and Arpine were also involved in that movement, so we will carefully introduce you to our initiatives.
Take care and see you soon
Great
Looking forward to this, learning about the initiative through the eyes of someone involved is always more interesting and can inspire more people to get involved…
This seems like a good spot for the post: /t/spot-the-future-caring-for-commons/559 We called the group Caring for Commons to hint at the fact that green spaces need all our care and protection to prevent them from being destroyed, bought, built on, anything that means the resource which is used by many is capitalized by a few and becomes a scarce resource… You might wanna check this kind of reaction to a park in Tbilisi being sold to a construction company: https://edgeryders.eu/arrivals/if-you-can-kick-us-out-of-our-parks-then-we-can-kick-you-out
We have a video interview with some of the movement’s founders, so stay tuned
