Spaceshaper: Regional Advocacy Event
Tuesday 7 September 2010
9.30am - 1pm (including lunch and refreshments) |
| Spaceshaper helps engage local people, and/or young people, in the process of improving their local spaces - fostering a sense of ownership, tapping into local knowledge, and strengthening community links.
Spaceshaper, and the newly launched Spaceshaper 9-14 aimed at young people, are practical toolkits that not only measure the quality of a public space, but crucially, capture the views of those who use the space and manage the space in the process.
If you are involved in improving public spaces, large or small, urban, suburban or rural, whether playspaces, pocket parks, country parks, housing estates, streets, then come and find out how the Spaceshaper toolkit could help you...
This event provides a free taster session, demonstrating the potential of the toolkit.
Places are limited so if you would like to register your interest please email Vickie Whitehead on centre@architecturecentre.co.uk
