I really appreciate that the theme of this project is to
assist the community in expressing their own history and identity. This is a motif
that resonates with me and I feel like this would be a great introduction
into community development.
While I’m eager to dive in and begin to craft our ideas into
something tangible I am also feeling great a deal of hesitation, because outside
of what I have recently read I can’t say that I know enough about this area
yet.
Personally I think it would be interesting to do some
research on how the “green spaces” of Baybrook- from farm land, to community
gardens- have changed over the years. In class turning trash into art was
brought up a couple of times and that idea stuck with me, especially with the possible
construction of that incinerator looming ahead. Project wise I would love to
work with the youth of the community on some kind of “trash into art” community
garden project.
Other than that I don’t really know where I want to start
but I’m looking forward to going out there to talk to people and see what we
can offer them.
Overall I have to say that course tops my list of classes
that I am excited to be a part of, and I can’t wait to see our project get off
the ground.
