Join us for a fun and interactive art / architecture workshop about public space in Dublin city!
In this family workshop you’ll have the opportunity to:

– Engage in family learning – parents / guardians and children can enjoy creative time together!
– Explore ideas about the places we share in our city … playgrounds, streetscapes and parks.

Through a process of collaborative drawing and map-making you’ll explore the potential of Dublin’s public spaces, including playgrounds and parks – how can we create a better and more playful city with inclusive and welcoming spaces for all?

He is the director and founder of Places of ARcture which aims to engage local communities with art and architecture. Inspired by community engagement processes and the quest for creating better cities, he curates and delivers creative workshops to families and communities in Dublin and London.
