Hi,
So, we see you are interested in the Finding Place in a Space challenge! This page will highlight some core content and ways you can get involved to support ideas for the challenge. Starting from what the Finding Place in a Space challenge is, a list of activities, events and courses we are currently running to help you develop your project challenge.
What is the challenge?
In case you have stumbled across this page and have no idea what the Finding Place in a Space challenge is, or you need a refresher, we are looking for students to get yourselves into groups and work collaboratively to consider the following brief:
“Think of innovative ways to way to live in cities for better”
This challenge is for anyone interested in blue sky thinking, imagining a better society and excited by the concept of community.
What we are looking for…
We are looking to see interesting ideas, exploration of the contexts, and your curiosity followed, not perfect answers or world problems solved. This is an opportunity for you to playfully approach real world situations, while learning in a group and getting creative.
To find out more about the challenge and its background, purpose and what we are wanting from you, please have a look at the following link below
