A community is a group of people who live in the same local area or share a cultural background. There are several community spaces in Baldock and Ashwell, including community centres, libraries, parks, pubs, and tennis courts. It is important to have spaces for community members to relax, hold events, and for families and children to play. Without safe places to spend time, teenagers may find less safe alternatives. Examples of community campaigns include Friends of Norton Common, which aims to preserve nature reserves, and The Triangle Garden, a community garden open to all ages in Hitchin.

This document discusses the challenges facing retail in Sheffield and proposes alternative visions for the city's future. It notes that traditional shopping models are changing as large retailers consolidate in prime locations. Meanwhile, cities like Liverpool have seen large-scale investments that drive new visitors but also increase polarization. The document questions whether Sheffield needs to focus as much on large-scale retail development or if it could draw more on existing cultural assets and a spirit of entrepreneurship. It proposes lighter, more experimental approaches rather than relying on big development projects and suggests changing the city's narrative may be as important as changing its retail offerings.
The document summarizes the "INSPIRE" project run by Quilombo UK, a social marketing agency based in Kingston-upon-Thames.

Mendelsohn later used modern materials and methods to create unified buildings. He helped found the progressive architectural group Der Ring and fled to England in 1933 when the Nazis seized his property.

Kenzō Tange (丹下 健三 Tange Kenzō?, 4 September 1913 – 22 March 2005) was a Japanese architect, and winner of the 1987 Pritzker Prize for architecture. He was one of the most significant architects of the 20th century, combining traditional Japanese styles with modernism, and designed major buildings on five continents. Tange was also an influential patron of the Metabolist movement. He said: "It was, I believe, around 1959 or at the beginning of the sixties that I began to think about what I was later to call structuralism", (cited in Plan 2/1982, Amsterdam), a reference to the architectural movement known as Dutch Structuralism.
Influenced from an early age by the Swiss modernist, Le Corbusier, Tange gained international recognition in 1949 when he won the competition for the design of Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park. He was a member of CIAM (Congres Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne) in the 1950s. He did not join the group of younger CIAM architects known as Team X, though his 1960 Tokyo Bay plan was influential for Team 10 in the 1960s, as well as the group that became Metabolism.
His university studies on urbanism put him in an ideal position to handle redevelopment projects after the Second World War. His ideas were explored in designs for Tokyo and Skopje. Tange's work influenced a generation of architects across the world.

Kenzo Tange was a prominent Japanese architect born in 1913. He studied under Le Corbusier and helped reconstruct Japan after World War II. Throughout his career, Tange sought to unite technology and humanity in his works and believed architecture should reflect social structures and progress toward the future. Some of his most notable projects include the Hiroshima Peace Park and Center, the Kagawa Prefectural Office, the National Gymnasium for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and the master plan for Expo '70 in Osaka. Tange viewed himself as continually advancing and creating a dynamic balance between inconsistencies.

Stories of the World was a major UK cultural program for the 2012 Olympics that involved nearly 70 museums in exhibitions and events exploring the UK's connections with the world. It had the largest youth participation program ever for museums, involving over 22,000 young people as co-curators. The program aimed to change museums forever by having people from all backgrounds help curate collections. Evaluations found it significantly shifted museums' work with young people and had positive impacts, though some questioned whether the changes were fully embedded after the program ended given reduced resources. Lessons included that high-profile initiatives can prioritize change but it takes ongoing leadership, resources, and involvement of all staff to fully embed new approaches.

Over several days and workshops, 50 students developed interactive installations, documentaries, movies and websites connecting their work to the landscape and people of Ameland Island in the Netherlands. The project aimed to foster interdisciplinary and international collaboration among young talent to develop innovative solutions for issues like sustainable tourism.
These slides are a summary of the conversations our participants had at our conversation cafe event on Sat 13 Sept at Anglia Ruskin University. With thanks to all of our supporters at http://bethechangecambridge.org.uk/?page_id=85 who helped us put on the event, and for everyone (over 50 of you) who took part!
The Imagine 2015 festival consisted of 59 arts events and workshops across Sutton from June to October, with the aim of making arts accessible to all. Over 2,270 people attended events and 550 participated in workshops, exceeding the goal of engaging 1,500 people. Feedback was very positive, with comments praising the intergenerational and community-building aspects. Most attendees were regular library users and heard about events through word of mouth or library brochures. Organizers will work to engage more older and younger age groups for Imagine 2016 based on lessons learned.

Here is the summary of hypotension:
Hypotension, or low blood pressure, is when the pressure of blood circulating in the body is lower than normal or expected. It's only a problem if it negatively impacts the body and causes symptoms. Normal blood pressure is usually between 90/60 mmHg and 120/80 mmHg, but pressures below 90/60 are generally considered hypotensive.

5. Earl De La Warr, May
1935
“A modernist building of
world renown that will
become a crucible for
creating a new model of
cultural provision in an
English seaside town which
is going to lead to the
growth, prosperity and the
greater culture of our
town”
8. Chronology
• 1970s - Bexhill declines as a resort
• The building begins to fall into disrepair
• 1986 – Building listed - Grade One
• 1998 - Weatherspoon’s proposal / threat
• 2003 - Charitable Trust established
• 2000 to 2004 – Refurbishment
• 2005 - DLWP reopens as centre for
contemporary arts
12. 4 Years ago…
• Previously known as the People’s Palace, we were seen as “elite” –
with our back to the town, sitting on our “lofty perch”.
• We were wary of our local audiences and defensive in our
communications.
• Struggling catering and retail business.
• Irregular live programme attracted limited audiences. We were seen
as “never open”.
• No audience engagement outside the Learning and Participation
Programme which concentrated on young people, alienating the older
demographic, which make up the majority of the population of the
town.
13. We didn’t understand….
• Mis-match between DLWP aspirations and those of local
people
• People had built their own connections and created their
own, sometimes collective, memories of the Pavilion
• People’s relationships with DLWP were complex, multi-
faceted , intergenerational, personal, historical
• £9 million, new management and contemporary art was
seen as a threat to those memories and relationships
15. Social Capital Study
• How could we take the best of 2012 and use it to
help us build a new, sustainable and resilient future?
• Enter East Sussex County Council, who commissioned
three studies to inform a new Cultural Strategy. We
were invited to be the subject of a Social Capital
Study –perfect timing for us as an organisation who
were primed to take a fresh approach to understand
and grow our audiences.

Analysis of Generation of Social Capital
Report
by Nick Ewbank, Stephanie Mills and Fred Gray
17. Cultural Change
• Cultural Change is a slow process – this was just the
start…
• The Social Capital report identified the work we need
to do to keep people connected with the fabric of
the building.
• Most importantly, the report gave us the confidence
to put relationships with our audiences back into our
business plan.

SOCIETY
Health & Wellbeing
Five Ways to Wellbeing:
Connect - with people around you
Be active – walk, run, cycle, dance
Take notice – catch sight of the beautiful, savour the moment
Keep learning – makes you more confident as well as being fun
Give – do something nice for a friend or a stranger.
33. “Whether they like it or not, cultural
organisations are social objects –
they're places where we make social
capital.”
Dan Thompson, Revolutionary Arts (2014)
34. We learnt:
By strengthening how people connect with us we
can:
• Increase our business
• Build relationships with our audiences
• Enrich our programme without compromise
• Increase opportunities for DLWP and audiences
• Become more resilient and sustainable
• Become more relevant to people’s lives
