At Pontio, in North Wales, a new Masters by Research in Relational Design (#api_MRRD) helps you make a positive step-change in a live wellness project for a region. Here is a project scenario.
The 6,426 chapels in Wales (like Capel Salem chapel in Pwllheli, above) were once at at the heart of community life in remote communities.
There are numerous ways chapels could be be part of the next economy, too – but these ways need to be designed, and with diverse collaborators.
Possibilities range from CoWoLi (Coworking-Coliving), or new kinds of creative residencies, to learning hubs and new kinds of school.

WELLNESS IN A REGIONAL CONTEXT: NEW MASTERS COURSE
Adventure. Tourism. Education
Would you – or someone on your staff – like to spend a year developing a project idea that reconnects city and country in a regional context? With a focus on wellness, adventure, tourism, and education?
I’ve posted seven short project scenarios to indicate the types of research project we have in mind for the #api_MRRD programme (where I’m teaching as its senior advisor):
Social Farming
Coders in the Countryside
Tree Care to Tree Camping
Beyond Adventure Sport
Beauty and Biorefining
Connected Botanic Garden
Chapels to Coworking
The new Masters by Research in Relational Design (#api_MRRD) is at Bangor University in North Wales. The course is residential, and runs full time from September to August. Check out the #api_MRRD course site or email Sara Roberts, sara.l.roberts@bangor.ac.uk for details.
