We kicked off our engagement for the #TaxonomyOfJoy project with the communities of Blackwall reach on Tuesday 25 May when make:good visited the London Tigers boxing club - an afternoon recreational club located in Blackwall reach for young people to practice boxing in open, green and safe environment.
We had a brilliant time talking to the young people and parent. Using tools such as our Blackwall reach map, the residents were able to locate places and express to us their feeling towards it and what they love about Blackwall Reach!
We collected extremely valuable feedback about the area and what brings the young people joy. Find below some drawings and quotes from the session:
"I love playing football with my friends. I love green open, big spaces."
"I love insects, flowers and playing with my friend."
"The things that brings me joy is when I get new friends like you." Shriya
"I like playing football with my friends and football team. I play in the park and in school."
