Knocknock is a community playbook by Shophouse & Co for neighbours to build relationships with each other. Featuring simple activities & resources across a 3-step approach, it is designed to help us get to know and collaborate with our neighbours to bring joy and life into our shared spaces in safe, fun and innovative ways.
