Glass-House Chats are monthly hour-long online spaces for conversation and connection, to ask questions and explore ideas, approaches and methods, share learning and meet others. The sessions are chaired by The Glass-House team, who will briefly introduce the theme and then open the floor for an informal and open discussion among participants.
About the Series
In this series of Glass-House Chats, we are revisiting the questions we asked a decade ago in our Glass-House Debate series Place Potential (2013/14) and To a More Ambitious Place (2014/15). All are questions that we feel are still hugely relevant today and that should be informing systemic change to how we shape where we live, work and play. We also hope that, 10 years on, bringing them to the Glass-House Chats space might help us gather some inspiring examples of how things are changing for the better.
This season’s themes are:
17 October, 10 – 11am- Can housing be a catalyst for great places?
14 November, 10 – 11am – Should we build less and reuse more?
12 December, 10 – 11am – Can young people be placemakers?
16 January, 10 – 11am- Can we improve health through placemaking?
Feb / March – Sharing Place (Date to be confirmed)
17 April, 10 – 11am – Does practice make perfect in place?
15 May, 10 – 11am – Do the right people have power in place?
19 June, 10 – 11am – Is our view of place too short-sighted?
17 July, 10 – 11am – Do we accept the status quo in place?
To ensure space for open meaningful discussion, places are limited to a small group, with the Chatham House Rule applied. Key discussion points will be collated, anonymised and shared after each session.
Glass-House Chats are free events, but places are limited, so please register only if you plan to attend.
