Freedom of the City
A creative consultation project that invited young people to inform the Cork City Development Plan.
In partnership with Cork City Council and UCC's Centre For Planning Education and Research, the Glucksman devised a creative programme for young people to participate in the consultation phase of the Cork City Development Plan. Primary, second and third level students in Cork city had the opportunity to explore creative approaches to civic life and to express their ideas for a healthier, greener and more playful city.
The responses of the young people were shared in an exhibition in the Glucksman in Summer 2021 and a film below received its premiere at the Gate cinema as part of our celebrations for Culture Night.
