Brief outline of the project
The project will bring together a small group of residents to work together in relation to Stirchley Park – an underused green space. Place Prospectors will work within the park to collectively explore and develop ideas for future use and design. Their focus will be to explore and deliver small changes that could influence change of use and strengthen a sense of ownership towards the park.
Main Objectives
- To deliver creative and experiential activity in the park;
- To develop a group of individuals that will continue to develop a sense of ownership and custodial responsibility to the park;
- To reassert the park as a valued social and cultural space through the activity the group delivers.
This is one of four Small Change:Creative Projects managed by Multistory in 2011-2012.
