The conclusion of a series of twelve workshops, held in conjunction with Carin Combrinck the (University of Pretoria's Architecture Department ) and the community was held in Slovo Park. The intention of the final workshop was to develop action plans and development strategies for implementation in 2012.

The first day of the workshop was opened by a presentation by Ms Carin
Combrinck ( UP Lecturer )and consisted of a visual summary of all the workshops that had taken place this year.These workshops were themed with the intention of trying to identify Slovo's unconscious collective vision.Below is a summary of the workshops.

















Information is still to be collected and collated, but the conclusion of the study will be found in a phd paper by Ms Combrinck, concerning participative research methods.

The implementation of community identified projects will take place next year. The University of Pretoria's Architecture Department will make itself available as a resource or consultant, when Slovo Park initiates the new projects.
