​Giselle Harvey — Clare Arts

The call was made through print and online posters which invited people from the general public interested in collective social-environmental change-making to come to art-based participatory action outreach workshops. 

​

Initially, the outreach approach was based on an outdoor public intervention workshop titled [EM] Powergeneration, a type of creative Public STEAM workshop. This workshop would exemplify the holistic (transdisciplinary) tools that were to be co-researched experientially through practice. Due to a number of issues, this outreach workshop was not actioned.

​

This led to a slight reshaping of the beginning of the research to a more art focused adult & community education outreach workshop than the holistic workshop approach originally designed. The details of these issues and the changes they brought about are contained in the accompanying exegesis (a practice based research report).

 

However, the [EM] Powergeneration workshop did develop during a later phase of the research. This lead to other workshops and resources being generated by the lead Researcher, Giselle Harvey, who designed and initiated the research PhD.
