Description

Are you passionate about community engagement and preserving local heritage? We are thrilled to invite you to be a part of our initiative to co-design a heritage-inspired mural that will encapsulate the rich cultural dynamics of Brick Lane over the past 40 years. Through two ideation workshops scheduled for 15th June at Whitechapel Gallery and 6th July at Tower Hamlets Archives Library, We aim to collaborate with local residents, artists, historians, and stakeholders to develop a concept that truly represents the essence of Brick Lane. The opportunity we would like to offer through this project is for the volunteer to document the engagement we have with participants and if the proposed aim has the desired impact on the local community.

 

Some of the benefits of participating are:

  • Gain hands-on experience in community-based research and project evaluation.
  • Contribute to a meaningful initiative that celebrates local history and cultural diversity
  • Opportunity to network with professionals, artists, and community members in the Brick Lane area.
Duties
  1. Participant Engagement Documentation: Attend and document the ideation workshops, capturing key discussions, ideas, and feedback from participants using various methods.
  2. Impact Assessment: Assist in evaluating the effectiveness of our project objectives in fostering community involvement, preserving cultural heritage, and promoting inclusivity within the Brick Lane community.
  3. Data Analysis: Organize and analyse the collected data to identify themes, patterns, and insights regarding community perceptions, needs, and preferences related to the heritage mural project.
  4. Reporting: Prepare reports summarizing findings from the workshops and impact assessment activities, highlighting actionable recommendations for project enhancement and future initiatives.
