Open Call for Guest Bloggers - #shapemycity

Shape My City

#shapemycity #takeover – call out for young guest bloggers 
To celebrate Takeover Day, the Architecture Centre will be ‘taken over’ by our 
#shapemycity youth programme from 21 Nov – 23 Dec, through an interactive exhibition, 
social media and blog. 

The Architecture Centre is offering the opportunity for 6 young Bristolians (aged 15-24 
years) to become guest bloggers on our #shapemycity blog in the lead up to, and during, 
the #takeover event. 

#shapemycity is all about getting young people to think about the city around them, who 
different places are designed for, why the city is how it is and who contributed to making it 
that way. We would like our young guest bloggers to think about Bristol in their blog posts. 
Possible themes to reflect on could be: 
- your favourite Bristol buildings /places and why? 
- your least favourite Bristol places and why? 
- public spaces, spaces for art, music, street art, being social, sport 
- your neighbourhood, identity, belonging, sense of place 
- what a certain place means to you, what you do in certain places, what places have 
memories for you? 
- Do you think the city has enough quality places/spaces for young people to do what 
they want/need to do? 
- Do you feel you have a say in shaping the city/your neighbourhood? 
- How could Bristol be a more youth friendly city? 

Blog articles can be a maximum of 500 words and need to include a selection of images. We will publish details of each guest blog editor on the blog, the Architecture Centre website 
and via social media. 

If you are interested in being a guest #shapemycity blogger, please email your draft articles 
to: amy.harrison@architecturecentre.co.uk by Monday 17th
November.
