I have been working on the Centre for Green Change since last summer and we have been doing a lot of work on designing programming and we are so excited to be announcing the Green Change Pop-Up.
The Centre for Green Change is a hub for community design and education with a focus on environmental action. Our goal is to engage residents in conversation and participation where community voices lead the way in shaping a vibrant neighbourhood. We are opening a Green Change Pop-Up in Jane and Finch in March in anticipation of the opening of our permanent space later this year. The Green Change Pop-Up will host, facilitate and support community design initiatives with a social justice and sustainability lens.
We already have a few great programs on the roster, Design Talks and Hands-on Mess. Design Talks is a bi-weekly workshop to play with ideas to design our ideas with words. Themes will include everything from food, to cities, to environment. Hands-on Mess is a bi-weekly workshop to get your hands dirty and mess around with do-it-yourself projects and build new skills.
We are opening up in March and looking for a few good people! Drop us a note if you have an idea for a workshop, a design challenge or better yet, you want to be a Community Program Host – details here: Community Program Host on Letter Head
