Good For Nothing

Good for Nothing started as an experiment in London in 2010. A cultivation of many dissatisfactions. An uncomfortable awareness of the deep systemic issues caused by the legacy of a materials-led industrial growth obsessed society. A numbing of hearts and minds. A frustration at the amazing creative talents pointed at pumping the endless novelty of the production / /consumption commercial landfill machine. But also inspired by the hope and optimism of grassroots innovators working on solutions to big social and environmental issues, and doing it with zero resources. We asked, what might happen if we mixed these networks up?Good for Nothing is an experimental movement in what could be. Manifested through time-constrained, challenge-based experiences, which bring together diverse skills and perspectives, to accelerate the work of these grassroots pioneers. GFN takes ego out of the room, flourishes on self organisation and says how much can you make happen? How much can you give?It's spreading with nearly 3000 Goodfornothingers and nearly 20 UK chapters and more starting overseas.
