Global Generation

Global Generation is an educational charity, which works together with local children and young people, businesses, residents and families in Camden, Islington and Southwark to create healthy, integrated and environmentally responsible communities. Our work connects people of all ages to nature in the middle of the city.

Are you interested in working with natural materials to develop building, landscaping and wildlife friendly horticulture skills?&nbsp; We have collaboratively built three structures and four distinct garden spaces on our permanent site in Kings Cross. Each structure champions a different natural, traditional craft and explores the value of regenerative design.&nbsp;Our gardens demonstrate ecologically beneficial ways of working with nature. Although the construction phase has come to an end, we still have a lot of work to do - join us at the #TriangleSite for an evening of learning new skills and practicing sustainable ways of making, building and growing!
