Day Two involved many more of the @CIVIC_SQUARE joined for a day of inspiration + learning exchange, the sun was out + it was incredible to see some of the businesses they have supported, neighbourhood shops, + a tour of the warehouse with the @everyone_org team. – at Camden Town, London

Kicking off the morning Grounded, one of the community businesses incubated @everyone_org / @ParticipatoryC. The coffee is ace, + slightly mind blown an ecology centre is at the heart of a new development in Barking Riverside.

Had an epic day yesterday @everyone_org discovery day; so much inspiration for ways to create legacy for some of our project residency spaces. AND labelling/ putting away abilities were legendary

Congratulations to @kerentangyeg —new City Councillor for #Edmonton!
Having worked closely with Keren on social R&D of #ParticipatoryCanada 2020-21, I can attest to her incredible tenacity, brilliance, integrity and commitment. Edmonton is fortunate to have her!
Voters in south Edmonton have chosen @kerentangyeg as city councillor for Ward Karhiio, making her one of the first non-white women to ever win a seat at City Hall.

‘Essential basic everything, for everyone’. Imagine that. Practical projects to build capabilities & envision different futures of social cohesion & circular local economies. Congrats Kickstart team members, @Iriscitizen @everyone_org @ParticipatoryC @BeFirstLondon! 🌟🍩 🛠🪡🎨
We launched The Good House. A place to make, repair, learn & buy. A makerspace, exhibition and shop. Run by our @everyone_org Kickstart employees (gov’t scheme for young people on Universal Credit) who learnt how to make sustainable products @ParticipatoryC @BeFirstLondon

The Good House: a latest great initiative w/ young makers @everyone_org @ParticipatoryC!
weareeveryone.org/the-good-h…
New concept: At the Good House you can share, repair & make essential products w/neighbours (as well as buy essential eco products)
#circulareconomy #civicfutures
The Good House won’t just be a place to buy these products, but an experience in sustainable living, with exhibition & workshop that invites anyone to share, learn, make & repair essential products as well as buy them. We even put doughnuts in the logo!

We're quickly #making stools from art shipping crates and discarded drawers in Re:Works, a @ParticipatortyC #coop incubator. They will provide seating for Saturday's @ExRdFestival film screening on solutions to @V_and_A exhibition waste. Go see it!
#CircularEconomy @TessyBritton
ALT Three of the Re:Works team of Barking & Dagenham residents are busy in the workshop at the Every One Every Day Warehouse. Two are brushing a finish onto modular components for making stools. A third wipes off the excess ready for drying on the workbench. A clock on the wall behind shows the time ticking past as we near our deadline...

On Saturday our Re:Works team will display furniture they've made from exhibition waste at the @V_and_A and deliver a workshop on making with reclaimed materials. Incredible for a group who met just 8 weeks ago at @everyone_org vam.ac.uk/event/6WGjbEdL/gre…
@TessyBritton #circularity

Great to heave Charles from @thehappycity with @everyone_org @ParticipatoryC for 2 days and sharing with him new ways of working that have inclusivity, collaboration and low personal risk at the heart (our business incubation programmes). Hope you made it back safely to Canada!
