"At the Portland, Oregon placemaking program, I had a fantastic time and met incredible people. We got in touch with the physical, geographical place and deep dived into one of America's most placemade cities. Afterwords, I reflected back on the geographical features of where I live and how I can tap into that as a placemaker. It was well-curated and highly-effective." Jerin Sage - What's Up?
