The walking neighbourhood hosted by children

Louise’s interest in children’s citizenship has also led her to collaborate with community cultural development artist, Lenine Bourke to explore opportunities for children’s participation in the public sphere to expand through an innovative relational arts project titled The Walking Neighbourhood hosted by Children (http://thewalkingneighbourhood.com.au). The innovation of this arts research collaboration has been recognized through the awarding of The University of Queensland Faculty of Social & Behavioural Sciences Innovation Award (2013) and internationally through a Walk21 Walking Visionaries Jury Prize (2015)
