How it started… the local engagement
On the Verge has taken a creative approach to engaging the community. The project ran artist led digital workshop sessions from mid November to end of January 2008. In these sessions participants learned about digital photography and were invited to take the opportunity to explore what is special and unique about the place in which they live.
Project questionnaires were also distributed door to door and to all the schools in the four estates. The questionnaires and cards gave the local community the opportunity to suggest ideas for what they would like to see on banners in their estate.
