Thank you TenantSpin, MediaFasadesFetsival, FACT, Liverpool, all the people making the event & workshop possible and of course, thank you for sharing your dances with the Giants!!! It was FUN

And the workshop at FACT was super! To meet and get to know all of you was just fantastic So many things we learnt together, so much sharing! Having returned to Finland we are not the same anymore..new born giants with new born undrestanding and insights! Lets carry on! …and your characters became just amazing

Hey, soon coming some pics and videos here… and please, if you like to share your photos with us, send them in and we´ll put them up   Hope to see you again, keep in touch, best energies from the Giants crew!

The Liverpool workshop started with getting to know each other and with a brief explanation of the Giants project. During the day we had some interesting and fruitful discussions on stereotypes of Liverpool and Liverpudlians (or Scousers). There were also two people from Chester participating and this widened the talk to also include stereotypes of the North West of England.

The day ended with a short walk around the neighborhood. The participants introduced some sites that they considered personally interesting. We also took some photos as material for building the Giant characters of Liverpool.
