James Leonard – Building Community from the Bottom Up and Getting a Seat at the Table

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack James Leonard is no stranger to the tortoise shack. Yet this is his first-ever appearance in the shack, and it is, like the man himself, really great. We talk about his post 2 Norries work, including collaborating internationally to raise awareness about the carceral experience, his work in Cork in building life-long learning initiatives and his work in Local Govt where he sees the friction between politics and community development. Thanks for the chat, James.
