About this event
As part of the Purple Flag program, you are invited to take part in a co-design process to help make the YCK Precinct feel safer for women and gender-diverse people.
The co-design process comprises of two parts:
1) A group walkshop on Tuesday 7 May, 6-8pm starting at Stitch Bar (61 York Street, Sydney NSW 2000)
A 2-hour walk through the precinct where you will be able to share your experiences, where and why you feel unsafe or vulnerable and discuss your ideas for improvements.
Participants who join this walkshop will receive a $40 WISH gift card.
2) A co-design workshop on Wednesday 12 June, 4-6pm at Event Room 1, Sydney Start-up Hub, Level 1, 11 York Street, Sydney 2000
A 2-hour workshop with the stakeholders who can help make improvements to the area such as local business owners, local council staff, urban designers, lighting experts and artists. You will bring your lived experience and opinions to this conversation, but no expert knowledge is required.
Participants who join both the walkshop and the co-design workshop will receive a $100 WISH gift card as a thank you for your time.
You are welcome to join only a walkshop or both a walkshop and co-design workshop. However, you can only attend the co-design workshop if you also attend the group walkshop.
