Who is our city really for? Public spaces shape our everyday lives. They influence where we feel comfortable spending time, how safe we feel moving around the city, and whether public places feel welcoming or not. This event is part of International Women's week and the evening brings together a panel of speakers with backgrounds in architecture, active travel, lighting and community work, alongside shared lived experience of using York's public spaces. This event is for anyone who uses public space and has an interest in making York a city where women and girls feel welcome, safe and able to belong. Doors from 7pm and there will be informal activities/discussion points to get involved in before and after the main panel. Aimed at adults. Tickets to be booked in advance and are on a sliding scale of free to £10. Any payments made are taken as a donation to the Make Space York project that focuses on creating welcoming parks for teenage girls. The event is hosted by Abigail Gaines who runs the Make Space York project and is part of the York International Women's week programme of events: www.yorkwomen.org.uk More information: https://letsmakespace.org/designed-for-who Instagram @Makespaceyork Email questions - [email protected]
