WORKSHOPS
Tools and Techniques
Designed to supply practical tools on specific issues, choose your own adventure based on the skills
you want to develop. Workshops will include practical information on diverse ways to fund your work, as well as tips on understanding and measuring your impact. You’ll find workshops to help you tell compelling narratives about your work and capture them on video for broader audiences. Facilitated peer-to-peer discussions will help you address common challenges in creative placemaking that no toolkits have tackled. We also invite you to dig in with us on field-wide discussions about knowledge and resources.
