Kielder Community Design Challenge
Welcome to the Kielder Community Design Challenge!
We are inviting residents, entrepreneurs, creators, and change-makers to come together and develop ideas and solutions that can help address local challenges with potential to transform the local area.
Join the Rural Design Centre in person for a design led purpose driven project design and development sprint at Kielder School.
If you are looking to make a difference in the community don't miss this opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals for the benefit of the local area.
We want to help develop and spark community centred projects big and small that could be delivered now. There are current funding opportunities and new ones around the corner.
These are some suggested local challenges areas:
Connection
To strengthen social, digital, and physical connections within the community?
Travel
What new mobility solutions can improve travel to and around Kielder?
Working and living
To create work opportunities and improve access to affordable housing?
Visits and stays
What fresh ideas can support the visitor economy, including innovative experiences like Dark Skies tourism and outdoor activities?
Dark skies protection and improvement
Making the skies above everyone's heads even more beautiful for the current and future generations.
Community assets
To revive redundant, closed or unused spaces and bring new life to underused places?
Others
