I confirm my arrival on 23rd of January.
Thinking loud with you of what could be done with the community with the limited info I could obtain about the community so far….
“Rural, famous for surf lovers “touristic somehow”, Men selling rugs, found some articles about Essouria in general suffer economic problems and child labor!!”
Mode of action
We need to rely on people living there and their spaces…it will be nice to run events on our garden but still we are leaving this place and we aim on implementing something for everybody so we can focus more on the common space they already use (promote for it and find ideas with owners to get income to keep it open)
Audience
- Space / workshops owners. Since the town is an attraction for surf lovers…it will be helpful to design online services guide for tourists. And for spaces, we can assess the needs and help in turning those places to accommodate the community gatherings. We have an example in a village in Giza, Egypt where we turned neglected area under the bridge to a gathering place and play yard through upcycling. In the link below are some pictures of the area:
-
Kids. I would propose integrating “trash into Toys project” in their system. Here is a link to proposal for a school describing the project.
-
Women. Teach crafts and help in marketing it online / “Friday” Market. Health campaign about breast cancer self-check and proper nutrition for families.
