VOICES OF THE WATER: IMMERSE YOURSELF
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.

Notes from the Garden
Global Generation Joint CEO, Nicole Van den Eijnde, reflects on why we are called Global Generation and what the local and global dimensions of our work are. Through gardening, togetherness and time to reflect, we work to inspire real change in our communities and a deeper change in how we think and care about the world
Senior Garden and Education Programmes Coordinator, Seth R-G, reflects on how in gardens that are always changing, like the meanwhile Paper Garden, deep learning can take root. Through gardening, we can link past and present: we can learn from plants that even brief moments can grow into something lasting.
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.
