CREATIVE PLACEMAKING FROM THE COMMUNITY UP
Creative Placemaking from the Community Up brought together a national cohort of groups through a shared set of values including equity, racial justice, and self determination, and the overall goal of advancing social justice in our communities. Their approach to learning is from the community up, drawing on deep reservoirs of local experience and knowledge and making connections between our communities. They collected several resources including case studies, webinars, toolkits pertaining to their work on cross sector collaborations, peer exchanges and skill building workshops, participatory planning and cultural mapping, thematic convenings, and presentations at local and national conferences.
