Planning

Throughout seven weeks of preparation, the team developed different approaches in order to get the Canterbury Street Lot’s community involved with the project. Nevertheless, when we encountered Cape Town’s reality, the team had to adapt and restructure our plan of action for the project. By using the Shared Action Learning (SAL) approach, the team was able to feel welcome in the community and foster collaborations with its members. If you would like to learn more about our planning process, please explore the links below.

 

Mission: A Lot for Everyone

This project assisted Khulisa and the street community of the Canterbury Street Lot to establish a sense of involvement and acceptance towards street people by fostering development of the lot as a welcoming space in which all members of the community can interact.

  1. Connect with the street people, Khulisa and Service Dining Rooms to define the foundation of the project
