SUMMARY:*Co-creating a City Repair Village Building Work & Playshop
DESCRIPTION:Placemaking pioneer Mark Lakeman returns to Vancouver to a
 nchor and guide a 9-month placemaking course designed to empower and f
 acilitate community leaders in creatively reimagining the way space ca
 n be used in urban environments, building community and actively engag
 ing citizens in the evolution of their neighbourhoods.\nThe course wil
 l be launched with a public talk February 7, proceeded by eight monthl
 y sessions facilitated with local teachers that include Story and Plac

 \nPlacemaking is one of the most effective tools available for communi
 ty building, because it builds social capital in multiple ways. First,
  Placemaking brings neighbours together as part of the project plannin
 g, consultation and construction processes. Once completed, the projec
 t itself is a legacy with ongoing community-building effects. “Repai
 red” (place-made) streets and intersections often serve as community
  gathering places for events such as block parties or even more sponta
 neous, year-round gathering such as at the Gather Round roundabout at 
 St George Street and 10th Ave in Vancouver, which has been transformed
  into a “micropark” complete with lawn chairs.\nCourse participant
 s will meet on a roughly monthly basis (on Saturdays) at various indoo
 r and outdoor venue throughout Vancouver for core instruction, and wil
 l have the option to attend several additional, optional workshops as 
 well to gather the more specific skills they will need in order to com
 plete their chosen project.\nPlease see website for full details and t
 o purchase tickets\n\nFor more information visit http://villagevancouv
