Join us for for some creative practice exploring the local neighbourhood through poetry.

In 2021 we held the first UK Citizens' Assembly on Arts, Culture and Creativity, asking:

How can arts, culture and creativity shape a better future for Coventry?

A representative sample of 50 Coventry residents came up with 9 recommendations, one of which was the Green Ways - a recommendation to create a network of pocket parks and green spaces connected by walking, wheeling and wildlife routes - meaning that it's possible to travel from neighbourhood to another without a car, where green spaces become a means of travel, not just a destination.

In 2024, the pilot project began to choose a route to test.

This Autumn, we have launched a 3 year project, funded by Esmee Fairburn which explores what can be acheived with the route.

This workshop is part of a series of workshops for local people exploring art, culture and nature and how we can work together to make our neighbourhood greener, more nature rich and better connected.

Drop in style, you can come for as long as you like, join a local poet to create some poetry to add to a 'poetree' about living in Foleshill and the nature we can find there and learn more about the Greenways project and how you can get involved.

Contact Christina@talkingbirds.co.uk for any questions or more information.
