Visually see the positive impact/ Instantly see progress in the community.
You would have different colours depicting different mindsets? As “you” change colour it shows your progress/status.
The colour should connect to personality trades (the story being told).
(Self recovery process, and a way to show the public or people that know of the messages their positive change).
Wearing your heart on your sleeve
- colour your life.
A possible place to locate the box in the Athlone community is the one entrance crescents with the parks in the middle of +- six houses, (In Bridgetown and Silvertown you find two types of crescent circles, one has two roads leading in and out of the space and is seen as a drug dealing place. The other circle has only one road and is seen as a safe place). The space next to the road leading into this space can be used to “advertise” to put your bluetooth on. (Paintings on the walls, or posters). The box would be placed where the road forks out to go around the park.
The scenario around this: When children go home, back from school, to change their clothes, they see the posters/paintings and remember to put on their bluetooth. They then get the message on their phones as they are walking to their homes. Then they can see what colour to wear to make a change or be part of a positive change in the community. The other possibility is that the coloured theme can be an image to be used as a background on their cellphones, if they don’t have a certain coloured t-shirt. (Maybe the box is only on, on the weekends?).
NB- But is there certain colours associated with the gangs? And should one say away from these colours?
RLABS people can maybe wear “advertising t-shirts” so that the community can recognize where the initiative is coming from and who to go to for help. RLAB’s are the “trendsetters of change”.
