Just rebloged that “solarpunk community center” art and now I’m thinking a Solarpunk Community Center. Like, how cool would it be? I wonder what they would have inside? Definitely some eco friendly arts and crafts inside. Maybe some stuff to make paper? For people who want to like, restock the paper used for the arts and crafts (maybe there’s an area where people can bring in their paper scraps and they use that to make the new paper?) maybe a little area for workshops to cycle throughout the week/month like in a library. I can totally see a day where someone comes in to teach people how to make paint and ink from plants and rocks (mostly paint from rocks). Maybe they would also have some toys made out of cloth and wood for the younger kids and like, maybe a little daycare like area? Board games for the older kids and adults, an area to work on computers and study, maybe an area that’s like a lounge/commons room? And definitely an area to fix things, like your clothes and electronics. Maybe they even have a little kitchen area for people to come and go with food and drinks. Idk I never actually been to a community center before 😅
Oh totally!! I think a community hub becomes something entirely different we see all over the place once most places becomes third spaces.
Like they could be a cafe/public kitchen/food distribution space, they could just be a neighborhood library with all the organizational stuff. It could be an event center. It's amazing to think about!
The community center near me, which is actually holding a vollunteer thank you tea today (but it's-35 and I don't wanna take a baby in that) but here's some of the services they already do so you should find the nearest community center and see what they got:
Little library/pantry/blockbuster outside
Fresh veg/fruit drop off is boxes for 35$ from local farmers
Game night - weekly until end of winter (mostly board games)
Movie nights - adult and kid ones (with snacks)
Free ice skating/garden plot when you get a membership
Jellybean dances
It's also got a pub in the basement where they sell a local beer primarily and have pool/darts/other pub games
A shared free circular store where ppl donate stuff and anyone can come and pick up whatever (lots of books/toys/clothes but also dishes and other stuff!)
Yoga, Dodgeball, and kids music classes
And hopefully next year a communal kitchen and girl guide meetings once the halls renos are done!!
