Description
Unleash your imagination and help bring our ‘Reimagine the Docks’ project to life!
Together, we want to show how new buildings and local people can grow side by side, bringing changes in Beckton and the Royal Docks that help grow a stronger sense of community, develop more things to do together and enable your voice to have a real say in shaping the area for the future.
We are the Institute of Imagination, an educational charity that believes that imagination is a vital tool for learning and a powerful catalyst for social change.
We will work with local primary schools to co-design and run a series of events for all the family, where we want to set children's imaginations free to reimagine their neighbourhood and tell us what matters most to them and their families. We might help them to code robot street sweepers to clean up our streets or build models of their dream playground from junk materials! They'll get to work directly with developers and community leaders to co-design something brand new for our community. We will then create a toolkit to help other local organisations take on community led development so that this project will have a lasting legacy.
We believe the people who live here should have a say in what gets built here.
