Our main part in Peckham Street Training (that's myself and Aileen Derieg from Furtherfield.org) has been to create an online platform for Street Training with a special focus on the Peckham group. We were interested to think about how to translate the project in physical space into online space and to connect the two. What would characterise the paths of Safety and Joy for online participants?

The Furtherfield.org ethos is to think about public space (online or physical) as something that we can change/ make an impression on/ to somehow make more human and communitarian. We do this by being active and aware about how we engage with it rather than acting as passive consumers of what is already on offer or pushed on us by commercial, corporate or other external interests. It’s something to do with attempting to make our own worlds and contexts with other people.

Therefore the online platform needs to facilitate users to: -
- be astonished/ entertained
- connect (or reconnect) with different kinds of people (ages, backgrounds, cultures) in meaningful ways
- learn through sharing and exchange of experience
- express their experiences in images, text, moving image, and audio
- think about how the website structure might change in response to active Street Trainers' needs to organise together.

In relation to safety it was very important to us that users would: -
- know how contributed files and data are valued and used,
- understand the intentions of the 'owner' of the platform (Lottie Child)
- feel that their motivations for participation are respected on their own terms i.e. that their data is not used for some purpose other than that described on the website.
