This session is focused on “What is the point of Creative Placemaking?” and it’s hosted by the RSC, Guildhall, Arts Connect and Improbable.
Devoted and Disgruntled events are organised using Open Space Technology (OS). You don’t need to know anything about this in advance, we will tell you everything you need to know at the start of the day. OS is a way for a group of people to self-organise, so they spend time working on the stuff they really care about and want to work on as a group in the time we have.
We will all start the day together in Opening Circle. In this time anyone can ‘call a session’ (you don’t have to) about something they want to talk about and stick it up on the wall. During the day we will work on all of the sessions that are called. At the end of the day we will come back together to reflect and share actions we are taking away.
