We went to Fredericia... the residential area was full of green, kept meadows

... and expected to find: Fredericia, full of vandalism

but what we found far more powerful:

building blocks of a community

such as the kindergarden in the center, already present

so we asked: How might we raise the sense of community through a shared meal to catalyze a stronger involvement in the community center?

A renewed focus on... specific behaviors...

residents share meals with each other

residents take advantage of the activities offered at the community center

residents interact meaningfully with each other

a specific context...

stairwells are small and residents don’t meet their neighbors

the common areas stay neat but oftentimes unused Kolding DesignCamp Nov 2012 |

the community center offers workshops but these go unattended

Nabolag Picnic, organized by building. Residents bring down their own dinners, to eat jointly with other families on a large tablecloth.

These act as milestones within our project. By identifying behaviors we evoke in the residents we can efficiently target our efforts.

receive... an invitation packet a basket acts as a motivator to take the invitation in good faith. It personalizes the event and the effort.

an invitation customized with the residents’ names clarifies the intentions behind the event.

accept...

the reminders all around the community a thank-you card preemptively engages the resident; surely if there is a thank you card handy there will be someone to meet at the event to give it to.

SEE YOU AT THE PICNIC!

a RSVP sticker

motivates a mental commitment to attend, and a call to action for the resident immediately following his unpacking of the basket.

logo stickers

are visual markers in the local kiosk to remind residents of the upcoming event, as well as create a sense that others are purchasing for their dinner to attend as well

activities

such as making paper lanterns in the kindergarden groups create excitement amongst the younger generation to attend the event.

show up to the event following the right cues music perhaps the most telling of cues, volunteers start playing music as they set up, alerting residents to prep their dinner to bring down.

flags & lanterns

volunteers set up flags to mirror those printed on the invitation cards, a visual primer to the residents of their commitment

a tablecloth the tablecloth is the largest visual reminder, a salient marker to the residents who may not have the event on their minds that it is, in fact, about to start.

engage ease the residents into interacting meaningfully best/worst of day bins

by encouraging the residents to share moments both good and bad, you prime not only exchange anecdotes, but also to realize that there are others who experience the good and the bad of life as well.

1 1 interactions with volunteers by far one of the strongest ways to create a familiar atmosphere is by the efforts of resident volunteers, who help break the ice.
