We shared our video on the marketplace Facebook page to gather feedback and suggestions. We also want to keep in good contact with the organisational teams and other people in our market so that they are aware of what we are doing.
The idea for our stall is to allow participants to decorate a patch that will be a part of a quilt that will then go on to Wellington Children's Hospital. We want to create an environment where they can be involved, use their creativity to make something, and feel a sense of achievement and self-value that comes with gift giving. We intend to create a relaxed and social atmosphere with hot drinks, stools, cushions and fabric. We want to engage all of the senses, with nice feeling fabrics, the smell and taste of hot drinks, a nice and creative looking stall and hopefully the noise of the sewing machines can be cancelled out by maybe music and talking.
This relates to the idea of immaterial labour because, rather than being an exchange of something tangible, the participants get a sense of being a part of something useful in exchange for their participation. We also get this sense of achievement in exchange for our facilitating of the stall. Our idea revolves around gift-giving and koha.
