Lead in installations: Plan

Why?

These lead in installations are a way to re-engage with community after a break (Christmas holidays) and to build new community that will become repeat users. It is hoped that from these installations a community will emerge that will stick around and will be the fabricators for the next stages in the Great and Grand Rumpus.

The first installation also acts as a transition from the One Last Apocalypse programming to The Great and Grand rumpus programming as it is still referring to a known entity (cardboard Kaiju) and beginning to introduce GGR (party).

The communities involved in these installation processes are:

re-engaging communities that engaged with One Last Apocalypse. These include a flexible learning school, men's sheds and individuals in the community that emerged from call outs)

Edge volunteers and Hack the Evening community

the wider Edge community

Community groups that are new to The Edge

How we reach out to new communities

We have found that some organisations want to hear about the whole program that we are offering and some don't (it can be a little overwhelming).

How do you know what do to?

- what is an organisation going to get from or want to engage in with the program? Is it hands-on skills initially that may lead to continued engagement or are they trying to commit to a long process of engagement? (eg: an education institution).
