This event is a participatory design installation and co-creation lab presented as part of the BOUNCE Challenge in partnership with A Playful City.

It explores how design connects us and can play a more active, collaborative role in shaping civic life and public space—not just as an aesthetic tool, but as a method for inclusion, dialogue, and systems-level change.

Through the Challenge, we brought together multidisciplinary teams of designers, creatives, and community-minded changemakers to reimagine how we engage with shared urban environments, specifically focusing on Drury Street in Dublin.

The event will open with a panel discussion featuring key stakeholders, followed by presentations from the participants, who will share the process behind their proposed solutions.

The audience is also invited to explore the outcomes, presented across three tiers of ambition:
“In an ideal world…” visionary ideas for long-term transformation;
“Wouldn’t it be great if…” proposals that could be piloted in the next 12–18 months;
and “Let’s change…” immediate, actionable interventions.
These ideas will be displayed on boards and prototypes throughout the space.

• 17th Nov: Opening at 4pm. Panel discussion 5pm–7pm. Exhibition Viewing until 8pm.
• 18th Nov: Open Viewing 10am–2pm.
