Walk Toward Your Vision: Join Our Online Visioning Walkshop for Wuppertal

Who knows better what a city needs or how to make it more liveable than its own citizens? Our project Day of the Good Life is exploring ways to motivate and empower Wuppertal citizens to take an active role in visioning and shaping their neighbourhoods. Through the concept of virtual walkshops, the project will create an encouraging space for citizens to come together and generate positive change. Join our next walkshop on 14 February 2021 to have a say in making your neighbourhood a place of the good life!

The Day of the Good Life in Wuppertal, during which citizens will design public space according to their needs and wishes, is scheduled for 16 May 2021. More than a just a day, the project is about a process aimed at engaging citizens as well as supporting and strengthening initiatives that work on promoting a sustainable, climate-friendly and socially-just life in Wuppertal.

To accompany citizens in the creative process of developing their own thoughts and ideas, the Day of the Good Life project launched the concept of walkshops in December 2020. Join us, team up with your neighbours, and let’s make Wuppertal a sustainable and inclusive city for everyone!

The walkshops are inspired by the methods of urban design thinking and strollology, the science of taking a walk. By walking through the streets of Wuppertal, places with a potential for creative re-designing can be identified and visions for a better, more sustainable and inclusive city can be developed together with other residents. The implementation of the ideas – be it murals, benches, swings, high-beds or whatever people desire – will be carried out by local artists and craftspeople. In addition to the walkshops, neighbourhood meetings will be held to further shape the citizens’ visions for a long-term engagement toward the good life in Wuppertal. The ultimate goal is to enable citizens to bring their ideas to life by forming engaged local groups.
