Remit for Photography
group
The purpose of the day is to provide
us with an opportunity to celebrate our community’s past, to reflect on and
discuss its present and then to plan how we might work best together to secure
its future.
Your brief is to help us do that by
creating a portrait of Newsham Park and its surrounding community in the
present day which helps to inspire and inform those discussions.
Remit for planting
party
The purpose of the day is to provide
us with an opportunity to celebrate our community’s past, to reflect on and
discuss its present and then to plan how we might work best together to secure
its future.
Your brief is to help us do that by
designing a new bed for the rose garden in the park. The bed needs to be designed in a way which
pays its respects to the design and history of the park but takes into account
the current pressures and future possibilities.
Therefore the design has to also offer seasonal interest, be easy to
maintain and contribute to the environment by being bee and butterfly friendly.
The finished design will be on display
on the 10th of May to help inspire a future vision of the park and
engage others in helping to realise it.
Remit for the cooking
party
To make and
or contribute to a ‘food revolution’ afternoon tea for the community to be held
at 3pm on the 10th of May.
This needs to celebrate the past and the memories and contribution of
people who have cooked before us as well as reflect the understanding we have
today about the costs and consequences of too much sugar and fat in our diet so
that we can work towards a healthier and happier future.
