SUMMARY: The concept of a 'Tamar Institute' is entirely speculative and one that arises out of conversations between a group of individuals based in the Tamar Region linked to, and/or working within, various institutions and networks. The 'vision' for the ‘institute idea’ is a work-in-progress and the inputs of all interested people are welcomed.
.
It has been envisaged that the Tamar Region is well placed to put together a community not-for-profit enterprise of some kind - or network of enterprises/organisations/institutions – that is designed to service the region's communities of various kinds to better enable them to deliver on their aspirations and cooperatively. Furthermore, it is envisaged that current regional groups/organisations/institutions may be better placed to deliver more relevant outcomes – fiscal, social & cultural dividends – in a 21st C context if they were to work more collaboratively/cooperatively towards mutual benefits that have a regional focus.
It is envisaged that the enterprise focus on the publication and decimation of information and cultural production in the broadest context – nonetheless regionally focused in its content. As a consequence of this it is likely that research in its broadest context will be a key concern for the institute/enterprise.

I think there is great potential here. Intentional, intelligent localisation. Establishing and modeling lifestyles that are not only 'sustainable' but culturally and spiritually rich, thus freed from consumption compulsion.
