Saturday 8th March Event

On Saturday 8th March we carried out the second event in the old bank on Telemann Square on the Ferrier Estate. There were many activities going on for all ages. At the entrance of the bank we had 'dream balloons' where people could write their dreams and ambitions for the future. We showcased community art proposals from Thomas Tallis School students and people voted for the one they liked most. As well we had a forest of thought bubbles displaying suggestions and ideas that residents and community groups have been sharing with us since October last year. It was an afternoon for reflecting about the future and having fun. There were kids activities, dancing and drumming with Taru and the Dancin' Angels. There was time to think about the past with a talk by resident Doreen Kendrick about the history of the Estate and other contributions by other people who live on the Ferrier. There was also a video diary room where people spoke about their homes and shared their thoughts on 'ideal communities' and a screening of 'The Phantom of the Ferrier', a short film we made with a group of young people living on the estate.

Have a look at the video of the day:
