These
pages were developed for the community networking conference
in Austin, Texas in December 2001, where we were scheduled
to run a version of the game one lunchtime and also at a workshop.
Conference details http://www.tcrc.net/conference
Workshop
materials
These
materials including a card 'game' which helps those developing
housing initiatives discuss and plan what might be involved.
If
you just want to get started, the short instructions are:
- Download
and cut up the cards
- Bring
a group of people together, and work in groups of up to
7-8 to first discuss the problems/challenges facing your
housing scheme
- Then
ask each group to use the cards to develop a plan of action.
Put a 'budget' limit of say 15 points on the plans (each
card has a budget of 1-3).
- Review
what the implications of developing the plan would be in
terms of skills, costs etc. The instructions
give more detail
Online
resources
This
site contains a lot of resources for those developing community
networks, with links to other sites. These are likely to be
relevant for those developing area-wide housing projects.
See
also the Guide
to Getting Communities Connected, developed by the Making
the Network team.
We
would really welcome feedback and ideas on developing the
games further.
