Empowering Design Practices: Live
Empowering Design Practices LIVE was held at St Paul's Hammersmith on the 12th of February 2020.
The conference aimed to explore and celebrate the role of communities in shaping sustainable futures for historic places of worship. We presented the learning and resources developed through the project to support community leadership and engagement in design. The event also offered opportunities for knowledge exchange and networking between community groups, professionals and organisations that work in the fields of faith, heritage, architecture and community development and facilitated the generation of ideas and propositions for the future.
The film below, produced by Emma Crouch of isayRAAR, beautifully captures the day and they key messages that emerged.
