my idea

MY IDEAS

M y community project ideas ???

My 1st idea was map out local community activity areas to show my local community "who dont know" where the local activity areas are? this includes parks, play ground,petting zoo's and skating areas.
i would generate a map of my local community and then i would go round taking pictures of these activity areas and stick then to the map in a larger print and detail what it is,where it is, and what there is to do there!!

as far as funding is concerned ? i wouldn't need any as i would simply do this digitally with my camera and editing wouldn't cost anything.

to get it out into the community i would use social media like facebook,twitter, i would also ask permission from st helens council to put it on there website or for them to print it of and show it in local libraries.

IDEA
To map out local community activity areas to show my local community ”WHO   DON’T KNOW” Where the local activity areas are ???

    This includes parks, play grounds ,petting zoo's and skating areas.
    I would generate a map of my local community using a web page and then i would get people to take fun style pictures of there local immunities and send them to me’ these then would be added on to this web page map and have details such as what it is ,where it is, and what there is to do there!!
    I would also like to create a forum for people to discuss areas and ideas to each over.
    The site would also be linked to social media such as facebook and twitter to help get the word out


      
Funding/Cost


I wouldn't need any funding as i would simply do this digitally online with people sending me there pictures for me to process onto the site editing wouldn't cost anything also.

A web page may cost 1 initial payment but this can be done for as little as £5 also some sites are free!!!

Community Project


Reaserch;

For my research i looked at different websites regarding community projects,
i found

I also looked at take a part!

This is a community arts project that uses  art to re generate the EFFORD area of plymouth
Since 2009 community groups,residents and organizations in efford have worked directly with artists  from the uk to explore efford and its future,
different events have taken place in various community spaces in efford including the library,a care home and a school youth centre

Both these projects are backed by the national lottery.
