To equip public officials with tools to engage with citizens in qualitative interviews on street level in order to map out the skills and interests of the neighbourhood.
We created the concept of "Super Grønland" which is registered as a creative commons. We invited citizens to reflect on their own superpowers – what are they really good at and love to do? Or what is their mother or friend really good at? And what kind of superpowers do they miss at Grønland? We designed a stand under the "International Market Day" at Grønland where we hosted an activity for children while their parents were interviewed. We also equipped public officials with a variety of probs and tools to uncover the hidden superpowers of Grønland and engage in qualitative dialogue with citizens.
The city has taken ownership of the concept which is being implemented as a part of establishing a network between actors at Grønland. We are also developing the logo it as an open source identity that anyone doing things at Grønland can use when branding Grønland-related projects.
