Since this is a learning-based event, the challenge we faced was this: what are the ways that a decade of on the ground, local practice be shared, so others can capture the depth and richness of these experiences?

We decided to do this in two ways, in tandem.

When I was first approached with the project, I was immediately concerned with how effective occasional design workshops could be in bring actual long lasting benefits to the local community. And this is how the idea of the Village Innovation Centre came to me.
