Healthy Communities - Disasters, Public Emergencies, and Climate Change Preparednesss - Ongoing, In-commjunity Pop-up Training
Healthy Food Garden-to-Table Training and Demonstrations
Community gardening to facilitate hands-on demonstrations and education for early childhood and seniors of the designated communities. Indoor-outdoor, weather-protected, multi-use space will also support our “Boot Camp”-type programs specializing in residential healthy food growth, production and preparation, live/live-streamed kitchen demonstrations, health and wellness initiatives, advanced research in easy-to-apply sustainable technologies including cooking with small and large solar ovens.
Disaster Resistance Basic Design and Construction Techniques
They will include the immediate practical application, and the basic education/training of easy-to-apply disaster resistance, design/construction techniques. Our basic training of construction technicians will specifically train tradesmen in good practice on how to make an existing poorly-built building stronger and hazard resistant, rather than focusing on new construction. Further, it addresses the limited understanding about what can be done to improve seismic resistance of existing buildings, while also including hurricane resistance characteristics.
Complementary Alternative Medicines CAM (In-community Health and Wellness) – Music, Amora, Message, Reiki Therapies
Our approach is to help address the chaos, mental disorganization, and despair that follows public emergencies and disasters. Our Pop-up immersion sessions ensure that we set communities on a mental and emotional path to facilitate building resiliency in the community. These sessions promote adopting the mindsetto absorb the impact of these events before and after they occur. It will also set the community on a trajectory to provide for the sustainability of their community without the significant reliance on forces outside their control. The Pop-upssessions and in-community resources promote the infrastructure for emotional, mental, and individual introspection required to enable the absorption of the impact in real time. And that everyone in the immediate community can participate.
Small and Micro-business, entrepreneurial training
Our Pop-up events provide training, seminars, workshops, Boot Camp/Immersion training sessions. We look to lay the initial groundwork for our development of community-specific small, micro-business and entrepreneurial training initiatives, and small, micro-business “Virtual Help Desk” including new community business incubator and virtual space resources for local small and micro-businesses.
Community-specific Healthy Food Source
Urban Gardening
Brief demonstrations can teach wellness, and nutrition by incorporating access to healthy herbs and vegetables by growing food in vertical gardening systems in an urban environment on porches, patios, apartment balconies, backyards, rooftops, etc.
Food Nutrition and Preparation
Our approach is to introduce innovative ways to grow crops through research and training through programs that will offer skills development workshops on entrepreneurship, urban food production, master gardening, food preparation, healthy eating habits, obesity and diabetes prevention, exercise, food safety, and sanitation certification.
Business and Commercial Incubator Kitchen
Our partnership with Universal Prime Energy enables us to include a community-specific onsite commercial kitchen that will also link support for in-community urban food production and food processing to provide residents and businesses with effective food demonstrations, nutritional education, food service handling, and preparation and food service certifications.
