Social interaction
Gathering people together will be one of the most important parts of weaving the web to form a tight knit community on which to build other sectors upon.
Without people there is no community and by taking the imitative to start weaving the web people have been given the opportunity to take steps towards becoming open to new ideas, skills and talents.
One of the biggest needs Weaving the Web will fulfil is the need to connect with others, there is a need to network within the gatherings and it is an important part of bringing different talents, passions and skills in to the community, to utilise those resources to encourage people to try new things and to share new skills and ideas.
This is a community based project and is aimed at encouraging people to take the responsibility of having input and becoming actively involved in each individual project.

Art
Every gathering will have a group art session to bring the energy of each person to the group .
What ever is created will be worked with to produce a finished article.
It is intended to encourages the creative flow, there is no right or wrong way to create a piece of art.
The piece of art will be left out through out the gathering for people to add their creative inspiration to it. This is the first step in encouraging people to express their creativity as it done on a group basis there is no pressure for anyone, people can do it quietly in the break. At the first gathering everyone will draw or paint on a piece of card which will need be cut up and joined in to a spiral.
