What if we valued how we create more than what we create? If we want to design life-centric, regenerative places, the design journey itself needs to be a regenerative process. Regenerative co-design can bring people together around common curiosities and care of place to invite collective action that can bring us closer to life-centric futures. Join us and bring your own ideas about regenerative co-design into the mix.

Every place is full of stories. When bringing a heritage building back to life, or when shaping any building, public space or whole neighbourhood, there is an opportunity to bring those stories to life. Whether through a collaborative design journey or through the physical changes made, there is something powerful about connecting our built world with local people and communities, past and present, through stories. Cristina Carrasco, Participation Manager for the Sunday School Stories Project at Union Chapel in Islington joins us to explore different ways to both tap into and celebrate the stories connected with the places we inhabit, and how these can both contribute to and influence our sense of cultural belonging within our shared heritage across architecture, music and social justice.
