Global Generation is an educational charity, which works together with local children, young people, and community members in our co-designed gardens in King’s Cross and Southwark.
Founded in 2004, Global Generation is an educational charity, which works together with local children and young people, businesses, residents and families in Camden, Islington and Southwark. We co-create gardens with the local community and currently have 3 active sites in King’s Cross and Southwark. We aim to showcase how disused urban spaces can become an oasis for plants and people to grow while using circular design and traditional building methods in our community builds.
On our sites, we combine activities such as urban food growing, carpentry, cooking and eating together with dialogue, story-telling, creative writing, silence and stillness. These practices create the conditions for people to come together, reflect on who they are and what they are a part of and, from that space, practically contribute to ecological and social change.
