In our engaging, hands-on 1-day training, we won’t just talk about community spaces; we’ll build the knowledge to create them. Through dynamic keynotes, interactive World Café conversations, and hands-on workshops, you’ll gain insight into:
- The six pillars of impactful community spaces and how to apply them.
- Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), a proven approach to strengthening communities from within.
- How participatory methods and a bottom-up approach can transform public spaces into successful places of true belonging – and how you can apply these principles directly to your own case.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Urban designers. Policy makers. Library innovators. Community organizers. Developers. Cultural leaders. Local authorities. Anyone looking to activate the full potential of public space. This training is for those who want to create successful social hotspots designed with and for the community – libraries, municipalities, cultural houses, theaters, co-working spaces, multifunctional facilities, and learning spaces.
