Seeds of Change

Any programme begins with a seed – a local story, a shared question, a moment of curiosity. As these ideas grow, so does their impact. What starts as a seed can shape how we live, connect, and imagine a better future.

Culture and the environment are deeply connected. From sustainable design to climate storytelling, cultural practice can challenge norms and inspire change. As communities face ecological shifts, culture becomes a vital tool for activism.

There is strong local pride in Havering being London’s ‘greenest borough’, and a clear opportunity to gather around a shared passion for nature and place. Health and wellbeing sit at the heart of A Good Life, Havering’s new cultural strategy, offering a moment to explore environmental concerns through a collective and creative response.

Seeds of Change focuses on wellbeing, food ecologies, and environmental activism – celebrating the role of the arts in shaping a flourishing future. It involves a series of events and wellbeing activities that place climate creativity at the centre of A Good Life.
