A SEARCH has been launched to find a group of up to 15 people, representing all walks of life across Barrow to be part of a group to shape the town's future.

Barrow’s New Constellation is an 'experiential' journey to explore what the area could become if it fully reflected the potential of its incredible residents, Barrow Council said.

Participants will be given the space and tools to co-create a new vision for Barrow’s future, inspired by cutting-edge community projects and innovation already happening in the area, as well as elsewhere.

The aim is to hear the experiences and hopes from the group members, then collectively they will map a new story for the Barrow borough.

The outcomes will be shared so that they can help inform the strategy processes for the area.

The journey will be led by creative incubator The New Constellation, working in close collaboration with the council and community groups, as well as innovators Hilary Cottam, author of ‘Radical Help’, and Rob Hopkins, author of ‘From What Is to What If’.

Hosted remotely, it will combine group and one-to-one conversations, audio recordings, individual work and reflective exercises, creative workshops and tasks.

Barrow’s New Constellation will take place from December 6 to Friday December 11. Participants will be carefully selected by a panel of local representatives in collaboration with The New Constellation.
