Croydon is the people’s canvas - how would you paint it?

This workshop builds on Melody's first workshop TRUTH BE TOLD; Croydon Storytelling, but you don’t have to have attended to take part this time! In that workshop, local young people and elders explored our experiences of Croydon town centre together.

This time, we’ll imagine how we’d change Croydon town centre if we had the power; keeping the places and people we love safe and shaping the places we want to see.

How do we translate our values and ideas into the physical environment of the town centre; community, architecture, culture, space? We’ll create a collective 3D mural that visualises through space, colour, image; a collective vision for the town centre’s regeneration.

This workshop will be followed by a final workshop, testing out and challenging the ideas put forward by We Made That and Croydon Council.

Free and open to all; please click through to the Eventbrite page to book a free space so we know how many people to expect! This creative workshop is for Croydon young people and elders to share; please only book on if you're aged 11-21 or over 60.

Croydon Council is creating a new strategy to underpin the regeneration programmes being planned for the town centre. Croydon’s community groups, residents and businesses will be key to shaping Croydon’s vision.

A multi-disciplinary team led by consultants We Made That, experts in urban strategy, design and infrastructure, has been appointed to create a varied programme of community-led activities where participants will be able to influence the vision and strategy.

A programme of workshops to explore the future of Croydon town centre offers residents, businesses and partners the opportunity to get involved.
