Visioning a Shared Future
To explore the concept of cohousing and what spaces might be shared amongst those interested, Imagine If ran two workshops to develop a clear design brief for Lenzie's cohousing group.
LCDT are now using the results of the workshop and the Imagine If Game to identify a suitable site for cohousing in Lenzie.
Testimonial
“We were very impressed with your delivery of the Imagine If Game and how engaging and enjoyable the workshop participants found it. Working in groups together allowed people to interact with the materials and at the same time raise real life questions that may never have occurred to them in a more traditional presentation setting. That experience gave people a more authentic and valid sense of what cohousing living is like.
The resulting analytical report is of a very high professional standard that will give us confidence in submitting it as part of the business plan together the architects capacity study of the proposed site under a Community Asset Transfer application. We feel it fully meets the requirements of policy makers and provides a more complete and valid ‘end user’ experience.
The “Visioning Our Shared Future” workshops give us essential business information gathered in an effective, time efficient and enjoyable way that respected participants time and gave them really useful and realistic insights into Cohousing living that could not have been achieved by the more usual methods.
We are glad we heard about it through Cohousing Scotland and would recommend the approach to any group requiring high quality information to inform decision making from ‘end user’ to policy makers.”
