SUMMER 2019 WITH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE IN CALLY

Supported by our generous funders and community partners, we were absolutely delighted to to work with local young people to occupy an under-used community space this summer. Here we look back on what the 40 young people who joined us in the six weeks of the summer holidays did to create change in their neighbourhood.

Global Generation has a long and well-established history of working with people in the borough of Islington - its children and young people in particular. We have been based along the borough boundary that is York Way at multiple meanwhile sites under the banner of our moveable King’s Cross Skip Garden since 2012. Being immediately adjacent to the Caledonian ward has enabled us to work closely with residents and community partners in the area, in order to engage hundreds of local children and young people through a variety of programmes designed to help them develop and thrive in their own lives and become agents of positive change in the world.

Inspired by last year’s Wakanda Wednesdays and Future Fridays, this summer involved:
