What?
make.helsinki is a collaborative project between Clear Village and DEMOS Helsinki to explore how public space can be used in novel ways when designed in a participatory manner.

The project has three main aims:

• To map out currently underused and overlooked spaces in Helsinki
• To understand how such spaces can be turned into problem-solvers for larger issues
• To co-design and co-implement a guerrilla intervention in an actual space in Helsinki to showcase the effectiveness and excitement of participatory approaches

Who’s involved?
Demos Helsinki, Clear Village, and citizens (workshop participants).

Status:
Active. Workshops between June-September 2012.
