Simon Lee Dicker + Terry Orchard
An ongoing participatory arts project aimed at improving access to, and the experience of, open spaces for young people with special needs.
We have been working directly with children, parents, carers and teachers from the Pioneer School in Basildon to create new ideas for improved access to public spaces based on research developed with this special needs client group.
With a focus on access, interpretation and navigation we have encouraged the students to be involved in all aspects of the project from the outset. We have produced video, audio and photographic work alongside drawings and text that will be available to download by November 2008.
This work has been funded through a Bright Sparks Research and Development Award and Essex County Council. For more info visit http://www.haringwoods.com/site/91/404.html
