By wandering our intent is to bring people together in a specific place to explore how walking and talking with others can help social change. We think this approach is a good way to share ideas so we are inviting people (up to 20) to wander with us.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re interested in how urban space might be thought about and how people move in-between ideas about Bristol as a \u2018green\u2019 city depicted in the Bristol European Green Capital and its legacy: \u00a0\u2018conceived\u2019 and ways in which people live and work in Bristol experience the city: \u2018lived\u2019. We are also interested in existing physical: \u2018perceived\u2019 spaces, such as the rivers and areas at the margins of the city centre. Thus, in wandering we seek to create new spaces to meet walk and have conversations around these themes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To begin the conversations we pose the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What does this space near the river mean for you?<\/li>\n<li>What does \u2018Green\u2019 mean to you?<\/li>\n<li>How are people feeling about a sense of ownership of the spaces near the river and has this altered since the recent interventions by developers of the spaces?<\/li>\n<li>Has the act of wandering changed your views towards the space? If so, how?<\/li>\n<li>Finally, this leads to our question: Is there another way?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>When and where is the wander? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>June<\/strong> <strong>12 at 12.15 PM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We will meet together at the footbridge over the River Avon nr. Sparke Evans Park.<\/p>\n<p>The wander\u00a0in total with be approx. 1 hour and will end at Temple Meads. \u00a0If you have time, please join us for a cuppa and cake afterwards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How will we capture conversations and what will we do with it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We would like to record bits of these walks and conversations \u2013 so we will take notes and collect images through photos and videos. Participation is entirely voluntary. Those not wishing to have their images videoed will be respected and arrangements are in place to ensure this agreement.<\/p>\n<p>We will ask participants to sign a written consent form on the day. Anyone who has given informed consent can at any time, while data or media gathering is happening, withdraw it after discussion with the project lead. The walks will be conducted in accordance to the UK Data Protection Act of 1998, BBC guidelines and the University of the West of England research ethical code of conduct.\u00a0 Sorry \u2013 we can not accommodate children at this event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will happen after the wander?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the third of three wanders. We are looking at how differing experiences, conversations, and knowledge could be applied to help shape the design of a \u2018green\u2019 city. In order to do so, in Autumn 2017, we will be holding a workshop <em>Exploring Spaces of \u2018Green\u2019 Practices<\/em>. Our intention is to facilitate the workshop around the significant themes captured during the three wanders and to provide a forum to debate current issues.\u00a0 As such, we want to share existing and ongoing work and its impact and to generate new research questions and future research collaborations and possibly to propose new interventions in Bristol for possible implementation<strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We will invite those who have been involved in the wanders and others who are interested and active in how we create spaces for social change in the city and beyond.\u00a0 At the event we will show a short film from the wanders to collectively explore the differing themes in order to develop points of discussion and new practices. Alongside these, a report will be produced on how walking and talking with others can help social change.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019d like to join you on the wander \u2013 what do I do now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This event is free but spaces are limited.
