How: funded by AHRC, brokered by Alison and
Environment Agency

5. The Frome

26.  Streets chose the focus (M32!)
 Streets provided material (things, photos, stories)
 Team facilitated – the boring bits
 As much or as little participation as wanted
 Information, science available
 Consider all learning styles, ages, abilities
 Mix people up – encounters
 Tangible legacy, embedded in local governance
