Design Training: Empowering Communities to Unlock Place Potential

In September 2018, Empowering Design Practices and partners hosted a two-day Design Training workshop for participants in Sheffield. This hands-on course based on Buildings by Design, the longstanding course developed by The Glass-House, brought together four community groups at the early stages of re-thinking the use and physical elements of their buildings to develop their design skills, knowledge and confidence.

Participants explored the challenges and opportunities of their buildings, and how design can help unlock their potential, be it through small or complex changes. This short film, produced by Picture Story Productions aims to share the experience of participants, and the benefits of this approach to empowering community groups to commission and lead design projects to improve their community buildings and spaces.
