Where is cool and creative Wollongong?

A postcard campaign is under way in Wollongong from today, encouraging the public to participate in a cultural mapping process as part of the CAMRA project. From this, we can build a better picture of the creative industries in Wollongong – from a grass-roots perspective – and what places and activities people think make Wollongong an interesting place to live.

There are four ways you can participate:

1. Join us in the Mapping Lounge @ Viva La Gong: Sat 7 Nov 2009 at McCabe Park

2. Join us at Mapping Lounge II. @ Wollongong City Gallery, 10am – 1pm, Tue 1 Dec 2009. R.S.V.P. Cultural Services Tel: 4251 4709

3. Go to facebook.com and search 'Where is cool Wollongong?'. Add comments to the lively facebook discussion.

4. Simply post your comments to this blog - answering the questions below. To post a comment, register at this website and complete a very short form: http://www.culturemap.org.au/user/register

There is also a map you can download from this blog and drawn on if you wish, when you answer the questions. You can use the map in any way you like to identify the places you are describing. Send completed drawn maps to me C/O School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Wollongong 2522.

We look forward to hearing your views.
