COLLECTIVE EXPLORATION
The foundation of this project is to better understand how we create collaborative spaces, develop the necessary skills and participatory approaches, and reimagine the power structures that help Manchester’s Children & Young People inform and build thriving regenerative economies of the future.
THE COLLECTIVE ART OF POSSIBLE
Provoking new thinking and approaches, contributing to the city’s imagination infrastructure around the role of children and young people in developing a thriving and equitable place of the future. Participation, care, and communing at its heart.
RAISING VOICES
Acting as a champion for children and young people’s voices to be used in shaping long-term policies for the city, supporting their rights to a seat at the table, and to challenge the status quo of marginalisation.
BUILDING TRUST
Creating partnerships to provide space for the city’s children and young people to explore, imagine, and make decisions, and to work alongside people of multiple generations to build collective wisdom and inter-generational trust.
