Community Space
Official Opening – Annual Gathering
People Know How were based in Ocean Terminal from April 2016 to March 2017. From this location they ran the Community Space and an event with over 40 local organisations, sharing information and space to facilitate social innovation.
The Community Space was an area offered for the use of the public, community groups, charities and organisations; at no cost. We hosted a wide range of exhibitions, events, information and training sessions, meetings, and workshops. In fact everything from Laugher Yoga to Break Dancing and Conversations on Brexit. It was an effective way to bring people together to network, build community and celebrate our diversity as well as what we have in common.
Over the 27th and 28th January 2017, we officially opened the Community Space, with over 40 organisations taking part; including charities, community groups, City of Edinburgh Council and Lothian Health. During the two day event organisations and groups promoted their work with stalls, talks, activities and demonstrations demonstrating just want the Community Space is all about.
The event was a complete success as confirmed by the numerous positive comments from stallholders and the visiting public; allowing them to find out more about what happens in their community.
