Watch our 2:46 video below to see how the Whitlam community was supported to imagine and create connection spaces during U Shape Whitlam.  This was a collaboration with the Whitlam Mingle Program (Woden Community Services and the Suburban Land Agency)

What people think about U Shape Us

​Our game, workshops and resources are already sparking the fantastical imaginations of people of all ages in families, schools, after school care, intergenerational and community development programs.  Hear it from those who’ve tried it!

What makes us unique?

We help people create small safe spaces where everyone can feel like they belong.

We believe citizens can solve shared problems for themselves and others when they’re given the chance to lead, with professionals there to help, not take over.

​Our approach is basaed on the principles of Asset-Based Community Development and Roger Hart’s Ladder of Children’s Participation, which believes in the capacity of all people - including children - to use their creativity and leadership to shape their environment.
