Redbridge, What Would You Do with this Space?
Event Information
About this event
The creative challenge:
We’ll be using this online creative gathering to imagine and co-design a What Would You Do with this Space? competition for young people to transform an underused space in Redbridge through a series of temporary installations and activities.
The What Would You Do with this Space? competition and winning project(s) will be led and managed by young people with a budget and a support team of mentors to help you make this happen.
This interactive creative session puts young people in charge of designing and managing the competition, and of selecting winning projects. We will also look at how other members of the Redbridge community of all ages can help support this initiative.
The opportunity:
This is a real opportunity for the community to take charge. Although not a council-led initiative, LB Redbridge will make one or more council-owned underused spaces or sites available to local young people to reuse temporarily, as ‘meanwhile’ spaces.
It’s up to you to decide how young people will make the What Would You Do with this Space? initiative work and what role you could play in making it happen.
How to take part

Organiser The Glass-House Community Led Design
Organiser of Redbridge, What Would You Do with this Space?
The Glass-House Community Led Design is an independent national charity dedicated to connecting people with the design of their places and connecting design with people.
We support a diverse audience that includes local communities, organisations and businesses, developers, local authorities, design practices and others to work collaboratively on the design of buildings, open spaces, homes and neighbourhoods.
We provide hands-on support and training, share knowledge and learning, and inspire new thinking and debate through action research, events and resources.
We see design not only as a tool for creating great places, but also as a way to connect people and empower them with enhanced confidence, skills and a great sense of agency.
