The USE-IT! project has afforded experimentation and new ways of tackling age-old problems in our communities. In this section of the website we share our experiences from each of the four main project strands, with practical insights and guidance that might be applicable to your own contexts or projects. We also invite you to get in touch to discuss these themes further.
