Julie Lewis

Julie Lewis’s bio by the New Economics Foundation (2002)

Julie Lewis spent five years with NEF working with communities on participation and local economic development. Her swan song was running many of the Plugging the Leaks workshops and visiting them before and after their work. They gave her both hope for the future and a keen sense of the complex issues in creating economically vibrant communities. Previous handbooks Faiths, Hope and Participation: the role of faith groups in neighbourhood renewal and Prove It: measuring the effect of neighbourhood renewal on local people are also based on workshops and projects with community groups throughout the UK. Julie coordinated the UK Community Participation Practitioners Network, and edited Participation Works: 21 techniques of community participation for the 21st Century. She also used many of the techniques as a facilitator and while running training courses in participation.

Julie has recently been experiencing livelihood creation in a very different setting in India, and is currently in Scotland with her partner Thomas exploring how to create a more contemplative and sustainable way of life.
