Creative Loddefjord & Olsvik 2020
Lisa Baxter facilitated eight virtual workshops based on her Designing Public Value With Purpose process where participants:
- looked at their immediate world with fresh eyes,
- explored more deeply what it meant to live, work and play there,
- traced some of the desire-lines and fault-lines that exist,
- and in response, developed a set of core values from the ground up,
- imagined what priorities, behaviours, and actions might flow from these values,
- and what positive difference this would make.
Based on human-centred design principles, this process fosters a deeper, more empathic understanding of people and place before envisioning what ‘community flourishing’ could mean in this context.
Twenty-five people took part, local citizens and representatives from the church, sports and youth groups, the shopping centre, artists, the area planning office and the local cultural office.
