Workshop 4 - Want to play Parramatta?  This active event provided  a fun and accessible platform for people in Parramatta's CBD to start to explore ideas and actions of playful places; also for people to voice their own memories, hopes and insights into  playfulness in the city and the issues  that impact on the public spaces  of Parramatta’s CBD. People could write, draw or explore configurations of shape and space  through the workshop , as each preferred.

It was great to have such a productive day of workshops and presentations on the 05th February 2018. We ended up with some fantastic insights and journeys thanks to all those who came along.

Workshop 1 - Parramatta Personas & Storyboarding excercises.  Here we spent time getting to know a selection of Parramatta-specific personas (from approximately 25) and creating short stories or scenarios to depict some of the challenges or frustrating encounters the personas face around Parra's CBD. Workshop 2 - Exploring the CBD with our personas.  In this session we took our personas for a walk around the CBD to identify and document the spots encounters could be trick for them around the CBD, and others where there could be playful opportunities for our different personas.
