Who created the Wintermission flashcards? 8 80 Cities. Visit us at www.880cities.org.
What is Wintermission all about? The Wintermission project is led by 8 80 Cities, with funding from the Knight Foundation. We have been on a mission to find out how winter cities can improve livability, accessibility, and vibrancy throughout the darkest, coldest months of the year.
These flashcards are just one outcome of the project. Visit our website at 880cities.org to learn more about other aspects of the project, including the Saint Paul Wintermission engagement results and Winter City Strategy! How can I use the Wintermission flashcards? These flashcards can be used atpublic meetings and events to ensure that winter-friendly principles and ideas are being considered in the planning of public space improvements. The cards can be used as visual cues to help participants brainstorm ideas for their community, or they can be used as a central tool in a facilitated workshop setting.
Warmth + Light + Spark + Movement There are four wintermission principles listed on the bottom of each flashcard. The underlined principles in blue apply specifically to the flashcard in hand. The four principles are: WARMTH: This refers to projects that provide physical warmth, e.g. places for people to heat up, as well as community-building activities that bring people together and combat any feelings of loneliness and isolation. LIGHT: This refers to efforts that use light as medium to make it safer or more inviting to be outside during long winter nights. It also refers to programming and events that foster winter nightlife, such as live music and ice bars.
SPARK: Projects that create a spark celebrate the unique winter culture of a city, and bring a sense of festivity, excitement, and playfulness to the season.
MOVEMENT: Projects that create movement encourage physical activity, such as sports, and increase access to active transportation (walk- ing, cycling, and public transit).
