Dudley Creates Knowledge Cafe co-design

A Knowledge Cafe brings people together to share ideas and gain a deeper collective understanding of a topic and the issues involved.

They can help us to understand more fully, and make better use of, all kinds of wisdom and know-how which already exists in our communities.

The Dudley Creates Knowledge Cafe celebrates local knowledge relating to current action we’re taking around nature connection, climate justice, community-led creative and collaborative action, and ways that local artists, designers and creatives are helping to unlock our imaginations and think in new ways about possible futures.

Co-design sessions in September 2024 are an invitation to:

• Share your knowledge about something you do or love
• Connect with other local people and discuss your topic, hearing a range of perspectives
• Contribute to a network of knowledge-holders

A seasonal programme of Knowledge Cafe sessions will be co-curated through co-design sessions like this one.

Each Knowledge Cafe gathering will last for 60-90 minutes and can take place anywhere in Dudley borough. We hope that they will offer new ways of seeing things, spark ideas, and perhaps even catalyse action.

We want to make activities as inclusive and accessible as possible so please let Lorna know how you can be made to feel welcome. Unfortunately, our space on the High Street only has a toilet accessible by stairs. However, if this would make it difficult for you to join in, please let Lorna know and we will do our best to find another venue.
