For the past few weeks, there has been a collective effort to map Sheffield’s neighbourhoods and understand community networks across the city. This work has been undertaken by Citizen Network Research and Tom French, with support and funding from NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board.
To date, views have been sought in two ways:
An online mapping tool;
Face to face, offline sessions in different parts of the city, thanks to the support of a range of different organisations across Sheffield.
We are collating a very rich data set ready to be analysed. Some of it relates to people’s drawing on maps, while some of it is about people’s feelings towards different places and networks.
We are now keen to work with as many people as possible from across the city to ask questions and start making sense of it all. This is not about being a technical ‘data expert’ (although those skills are more than welcome too, of course); this is about being inquisitive and collectively contributing to what we do with this next. Everyone is welcome.
This second of two sessions is open to everyone. You don't need to have attended the first session. Its purpose is to:
- Bring together data analysts (of all forms) and other interested people to explore the data collected and create ‘insight’ based on the questions and principles from the first session
- Facilitate a series of 30 minute analysis ‘sprints’ followed by 15 reflection sessions
- Broker conversations about what can be done with this kind of insight
