Youth-Generated Place Making: re-imagining space through the eyes of children, creating a safer, happier urban environment for our youth.

The activation that you saw on the 15th of June was the culmination of weeks of planning and research.
Heres a throwback to one of our earliest team meetings and site visits.

Throwback to some of the amazing characters ans costumes that the children came up with themselves. Here we have a Flion, Rhinocorn, Kudu, Wise Woman, Prince and Princess, and some mischievous dinosaurs.

Our kids are hard at work memorising lines and rehearsing their scenes for their performance on June 15. All are invited to come watch their performace, which is followed by an exhibition in the Spark Gallery.

Set design is well under way for our play on June 15th! We're trying our best to design the props exactly as the children imagine them

Our workshops allow children to re-imagine public space in a way only a child can. When asked to re-design some of the spaces around Spark Gallery, they went beyond the ordinary and created imaginary worlds @PlayAfricaCM

We held a workshop in April which was about getting the children to think as dreamers and optimists. They got to dress up as different jobs and reimagine various sites as their chosen careers.

Welcome to Re-Creation Space! We are a collaboration between Play Africa, Orchards Project, and The Trinity Session that seeks to re-create existing public spaces by seeing those spaces through the imaginative eyes of the children that inhabit them.
