The Lancashire Libraries Youth Space team in England commissioned design practice Mooch to work with local young people to generate ideas and concepts that would inform the new spaces.
The aim of the project is not only to create inspirational space that would become young people's default "third place" destination but to allow young people ownership of the space through their input and ideas.
Raising expectations, opening up new doors and creating a platform of opportunity for young people is all part of the project and Mooch facilitated this perfectly through their engagement program.
For more information see their presentation.
