Creative Repair Kit: Poverty Design Sprint

Month three of Creative Repair Kit. Deep winter, deep hardship — the moment human skills like compassion, resilience, and collaborative resourcefulness matter most, and the moment they're hardest to hold onto. In groups of 3, working from real local cost-of-living data, you'll design a warmth-and-shelter prototype from an everyday object. No one is ever asked to disclose their own experience of poverty to take part — this is a design exercise in collective care, not a disclosure space. What you'll do: recap → local context briefing → build → live pitch. What to bring: nothing — materials provided. Who it's for: anyone 16+. Accessibility: flag access needs at booking.
