Join UNESCO City of Design Dundee and Service Design Academy in an interactive online workshop session to generate and explore ideas for the Spaces for People project on Lochee High Street.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

In response to the COVID-19 Crisis this project looks to implement temporary measures in Lochee that support Physical Distancing and make it safer for people who choose to walk, cycle or wheel for essential trips and exercise during Covid-19. This might include providing more space to safely pass each other, more space to meet outdoors, the use of parking or road space for businesses to increase trade and support safe queuing.

It is essential for this project that any measures are co-designed with businesses and residents. You may be familiar with the work we have done on Union Street which was the result of a series of co-design, collaborative workshops led by our partners at Service Design Academy. A short video about that project is available here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eeG05V3_Sw&feature=youtu.be

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This workshop is for people who live, work and use services in the Lochee area. Supporting the success of businesses is a priority for the programme, so people who run, work in or represent businesses in Lochee are encouraged to attend.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT IN THE SESSION

In the session the team from SDA will take us through a series of workshop tasks to identify areas of opportunity and generate ideas. The workshop will be delivered with the principles of co-design, collaboration and participation.

You will need a device such as a laptop, tablet or other computer with microphone and video to participate fully in the session.

We will be using an online 'whiteboard' programme called Miro, it works best on a laptop or desktop computer, but assistance will be provided to ensure all ideas are captured.

If you would like to take part but don't have access to suitable technology, please contact us on contact@dundeecityofdesign.com
