Thanks to everyone for coming and contributing so much to our first workshop in the series.  Rose Gilroy shared her focus group research on co-housing, where rather than asking, ‘Where do we want to live?’, older people questioned, ‘how do we want to live?’.  Dr Gill Windle drew from her extensive experience researching the concept and shared some of the challenges associated with measurement.  A special warm thanks goes to Maureen McClarens, Muriel Williamson, Violet Sadler, Shirley Glass and Anne Gray who offered us their open and emotional accounts of what resilience means to them. In the afternoon, Sophia de Sousa from Glass-House Community-Led Design led a workshop with Dr Katerina Alexiou where we took on the role of different stakeholders and came up with some suggestions for redesigning a piece of communal space.
