As we wind down for Winter, come along, plant a bulb to take away with you and ponder with us how we can improve our neighbourhood.
In 2021 we held the first UK Citizens' Assembly on Arts, Culture and Creativity, asking:
How can arts, culture and creativity shape a better future for Coventry?
A representative sample of 50 Coventry residents came up with 9 recommendations, one of which was the Green Ways - a recommendation to create a network of pocket parks and green spaces connected by walking, wheeling and wildlife routes - meaning that it's possible to travel from neighbourhood to another without a car, where green spaces become a means of travel, not just a destination.
In 2024, the pilot project began to choose a route to test.
This Autumn, we have launched a 3 year project, funded by Esmee Fairburn which explores what can be acheived with the route.
.......................
This workshop is part of a series of workshops for local people exploring art, culture and nature and how we can work together to make our neighbourhood greener, more nature rich and better connected.
A free drop-in workshop, open to all. Come along, plant a bulb with us, decorate a pot to take home and learn more about the Greenways project and how we can plan together for a more green and connected neighbourhood.

We are a Coventry-based company of artists known for our gently provocative projects which explore, and seek to illuminate, the profound and complex relationships between people and place. We're big on access, human connection, social and ecological responsibility, and on nurturing the next generation of artists and theatre makers, particularly in Coventry. Our current projects are informed by the recommendations made by the members of the Art for the People Citizens' Assembly that we ran in 2021, which explored the question "How will arts, culture and creativity shape a better future for Coventry?" https://talkingbirds.co.uk/a4tp/
