VOICES OF THE WATER: IMMERSE YOURSELF

Written By Nicole Van den Eijnde

As part of our Voices of the Water project we have come across so many amazing books, films and projects which explore and recognise the importance of water in our lives and on Earth, from which we find inspiration. These have included the importance and sacredness of water linked to different areas, including wellbeing, cultural heritage stories, scientific stories and discoveries and the climate emergency. We share here some of these resources for you to explore and discover as well.

Future Neighbourhood Greening’s stories

This story is made up of many stories—stories of joy, and stories of twists and turns—about how the Story Garden community engagement team supported the transformation of neglected spaces into thriving green areas, improving residents’ wellbeing, skills, and sense of connection.

It is a story of migration, encounters, shared experiences, and the teaching of nature across local estates.

Young people’s creativity is often stifled by modern pressures, but engaging with nature can help revive it. Jemma, Global Generation’s Head of Funding writes about a collaboration between Global Generation and Heatherwick Studio for In the Making programme, giving young people space to reconnect with creativity, explore new possibilities, and feel empowered. The initiative has inspired over 1,000 participants, helping them see creative careers as accessible and encouraging imagination.
