CALLING ALL YOUTHS — If you frequent Somerset, here’s your chance to play your part and make your mark! ⁣ ⁣ Come join us in making Somerset Belt a place for youth(th)! Sign up for the upcoming Walking Conversation or Photowalk session held on the 19th and 22nd of June to let your creative ideas be heard. We want to hear the voices of youths of all interests, tribes, and walks of life, so #openjio to anyone and everyone who is between the ages of 15 to 35 to be a part of this. ⁣ ⁣ Your involvement will help us to better understand the impression and needs of our Singaporean youths, which will be useful for us when we shape the #placemaking and #participatory process later in the year — which will once again involve youths like yourself! ⁣ Visit the link in our bio, tell us a bit about yourself and how you want to be involved! Slots for some of these conversations are limited hence we’ll be in touch if you are selected. ⁣ ⁣ Gather your friends and come make your mark on Somerset Belt together! Spark the next vibrant zone, where everyone from all walks of life can come together, collaborate and realise their aspirations. #ShapeYourSomerset ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ A Placemaking Masterplan Project commissioned by @mccysg to support the Somerset Belt Working Panel.

Before the upcoming public engagement for Woodgrove's Neighbourhood Renewal Programme, we met with stakeholders from @Woodgrove Zone 8 RC, @woodgroveyec & @marsilingyewteetc in order to understand the needs and vision of the residents from the stakeholders' unique perspectives. Participants prioritised potential upgrading by sharing what is currently working well and what needs to be improved in the area. We appreciated the enthusiasm of the stakeholders, especially as it was late on a Wednesday night! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you'd like to get involved as a volunteer with the public engagement for Woodgrove's Neighbourhood Renewal Programme, see the sign up links below! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Community Pop-Up Ideas Market — http://bit.ly/woodgrovepopup Community Visioning Workshop — http://bit.ly/woodgroveworkshop ⁣ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #designingwithpeople #participateindesign #letsparticipatesg #NRP
#WorkoftheWeek — Career Path Candy Chang, a leader in participatory public art, uses unlikely canvases - blighted buildings, empty storefronts, abandoned houses - to get people talking. Her other participatory art project Before I Die has been created in over 1,000 cities and over 70 countries Career Path is a participatory public art installation in Finland that invites students to reflect on the evolution of their professional aspirations as they determine a discipline of study. Located on a university pathway nicknamed Uraputki, or “Career Path,” the installation features prompts in English, Finnish, and Swedish that ask passersby what they wanted to be when they were a child and what they want to be today. The project transformed a neglected space into a constructive one for students to collectively reflect on their childhood dreams, how they’ve changed or stayed the same, and how this perspective might clarify genuine passions and inform their current explorations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Read more about Career Path here: http://candychang.com/work/career-path/ #designingwithpeople #participateindesign #letsparticipatesg #workoftheweek

Somerset has always been a part of Singapore’s youth culture. And it’s about to get a whole lot better with the new Somerset Belt – a shared space that’s owned by you(th)!⁣ ⁣ The first step to shaping this space with you is... to get your thoughts about Orchard Road!⁣ ⁣ To do that, we will be embarking on a series of interactive conversations, studies, and activities, that will be held over the coming months. These engagements will take interesting formats, including a photography walk along Orchard Road, a walk-and-talk around the area, a chat about your smartphone patterns, brainstorming sessions, and more! (More info at bit.ly/shapeyoursomerset, link in bio!) ⁣ We want to hear the voices of youths of all interests, tribes, and walks of life, so #openjio everyone you know who is between the ages of 15 to 35 to be a part of this! Click the link in bio, tell us a bit about yourself, and how you want to be involved. Slots for some of these conversations are limited – we will reach out and let you know which session you’ve been selected for.⁣ ⁣ What’s going to happen after that? The insights from these conversations will then shape the next stage of this #placemaking and #participatory process later in the year, which will once again, involve youths like you!⁣ ⁣ Come and make your mark on Somerset Belt. #ShapeYourSomerset⁣ ⁣ A Placemaking Masterplan Project commissioned by @mccysg to support the Somerset Belt Working Panel.

#WorkoftheWeek — Swarm the World. ⁣ ⁣ Sculptor and Installation artist, Tasha Lewis, launched a world-wide, collaborative and fleeting street art project titled, ‘Swarm the World’.⁣ ⁣ She spent 2 years creating over 6,000 magnetic, cyanotype butterflies with small magnets that she’s been posting all over New York city. The magnetic butterflies attaches to metal objects easily, and also leave without a trace. As she began to spread the guerrilla sculpture around the city, she realised she would never be able to go as far with the butterflies as she’d like. ⁣ ⁣ Thus, she chose 187 people from all 7 continents to help spread these butterflies in their own countries and cities. She equips her collaborators with a how-to-guide as well as a journal. The collaborators will have 2-6 weeks to spread the butterflies around the environment and engage the community. They are also in charge of photographing it and sending it on to the next participant. ⁣ ⁣ Read more about Swarm the World here: http://www.swarmtheworld.com ⁣ ⁣ #designingwithpeople #participateindesign #letsparticipatesg #workoftheweek
