Final step for the Cards----cutting it in binding room. The Y1 and Y2 got a chance to practice their binding skills while this Event, and they did a great job!

After the round table meeting, students were encouraged to share their interests and ideas from the presentation with the invited academics. Some of their questions, ranging from co-housing design to housing policies, were further discussed. Everyone learned a lot from this great discussion.

Finally, we had a short lunch break after preparing the room. Can't wait for the round table discussion!

We arranged the meeting room for afternoon round table discussions. To provide invited speakers with the possibility to present digital materials, we tested the screen facilities. Besides, we also prepared the coffee, tea and snacks for guests.

We had the final meeting before the tomorrow round table discussions, taking place in the Corner House in Manchester. All the different tasks that need to be finished before the actual event were distributed between the undergraduate and fifth year students. They include setting up the required equipment, organising small refreshment stand and preparing the space. The planned discussions will be recorded and eventually presented in the final exhibition on the 2nd of May.

Today, we finally established all the activities that will be happening during the Community Engagement event, due next Monday. The invited people will have an opportunity to see the short film introducing MSAp PS1 projects and PHASE research, as well as participate in activities with the help of the students. The schedule includes playing co-housing game ‘Create Your Perfect House’ and taking part in a spatial capacity survey. Through these activities, we intent to determine the current living conditions of old people in Manchester and present the possible solutions for improved accommodation.

Using yesterday's outcomes from MSAP PS1 to create an activity for the old people in Community Engagement Event which is called 'Create Your Perfect House'. We have produced some of them to test the game with undergraduate students.
