A day of creativity, dreaming, and sharing - a space to explore our longings for what we want our town to look and feel like in 2040.
At a time when the challenges we face seem overwhelming, imagination can take a back seat. We are so busy fire-fighting or surviving the problem, it is often difficult to visualise alternatives.
Town Anywhere New Mills will take you on a journey into a fair and sustainable future, to imagine and build a thriving ‘Town Anywhere’. The Town Anywhere experience will be a day of reflecting, thinking, creativity, visioning, and sharing. It will be a space to explore what we want the future to be. It will enable us to connect together to help us envisage pathways through to the future we want.
Using immersive future scenarios, large-scale model-making and timed challenges, the Town Anywhere process helps participants to play and practice community visioning, ideation and storytelling in a virtual, but tangible, environment.
By the end of the workshop, as residents of the new Town Anywhere, you will have created a physical representation of the thriving town we are all longing to live in. Collectively shaping and inhabiting this potential fair and sustainable future can strengthen our enthusiasm and resolve to go on and make it real.
Facilitated by internationally acclaimed artist Ruth Ben-Tovim and supported by the National Lottery Community Fund and the Transition Network
