Whose* Issues

Whose* Issues is a participatory project led by young designers from Aalto University. We are students from the Creative Sustainability programme that want to give a voice to the citizens of Helsinki. We believe in an open city. Citizens are co-designers and planners of their neighborhoods. We want to do our bit in making Helsinki more sensitive and open by creating a new channel for citizen-led design activism. You are the best expert on your own life. You know what works for you and where there are challenges. We want to work on solutions to these problems and help you to make your voice heard!

Join us for our Co-creation Workshop coming Tuesday!

Whose* Issues -työpajan teemat ovat varmistuneet! Tässä kolme eniten ääniä kerännyttä aihetta, joiden parissa jatkamme 3.7. WDC-Paviljongissa. 1. Pro Kivinokka 2. Pyöräilymahdollisuudet Helsingissä 3. Uusyhteisöllisyys / Ei-kaupalliset tilat keskustassa

Tulemme työstämään näitä aiheita tarkkailemalla niitä eri näkövinkkeleistä, ideoimalla ja suunnittelemalla tuorein ajatuksin tapoja, joilla jokainen voi vaikuttaa ympäristöönsä. Tervetuloa tapahtumaan koko illaksi, mutta muista, että meille myös nopea piipahduskin on tärkeää. Tuo mukanasi aito innostus, niin saat vastineeksi meiltä hyvää seuraa, kotona tehtyä luomuruokaa ja mahdollisuuden jättää jälkesi kaupunkiin!

Päivämäärä: Tiistai 3. heinäkuuta 2012 Aika: 15.00-20.00 Paikka: WDC-Paviljonki, Ullanlinnankatu 2-4, 00130 Helsinki
