Last summer I worked with the ActiveStreets project – me and a few other students spent our summer generally helping out in all aspects of Birmingham’s Wellbeing Service. Towards the end of the summer we knuckled down to develop the ActiveStreet’s documentation and started building a conceptual framework for the project, upon our return this summer we’ve seen our ideas and documents being used in practice and it’s exciting to see the project enter a new phase!
As Nina Simone said “it’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life and I’m feeling good”… ,
For those who aren’t familiar with ActiveStreets it’s project run by the Wellbeing Service of Birmingham City Council, the aim of the project is to enable Birmingham residents to exercise their right to close their road for social activities, whether it’s giving the kids on the street a chance to play together or for the adults to socialise over hot drinks and cake – if that’s your cup of tea.
