Land Justice: Reclaiming Community Land
Popular Education Learning Circle - Oct 29th 2023
2 - 4pm
Join us on the last Sunday of THIS MONTH with a focus on communities and peoples reclaiming urban city spaces and turning them into community-led growing spaces. There are so many incredible community-led projects in London, the UK, and across the globe whereby peoples are taking matters into their own hands to achieve Planet Repairs.
Each month we have a slightly different focus, shaped by members of our local community in Haringey specifically to tailor the learning to what we need as a community to tackle the issues we're faced with both locally and globally. Food insecurity, housing, mental health, ecosystem collapse, rapidly changing environments are all real issues for us - caused by the fact the rich control land and by extension everything on it.
*What to bring*
For the interactive session, we invite you to bring your knowledge and any photos or materials of different projects where people have reclaimed land and turned it into growing space for the local community. Together, we'll pool our collective knowledge by mapping everyones ideas before creatively re-imagining urban spaces that could be much better used to serve the many needs that our community has.
--------------------
Lunch
Come by Wolves Lane early for lunch, before the workshop (there may not be food left at 4pm) from the Wolves Lane community kitchen. Food is made using organic produce grown on site, as well as surplus supermarket vegetables. The Community Kitchen Food Justice programme works on a sliding scale so you pay whatever you can, those who are able to can pay a solidarity price so lunch can be free for other members of the community in need.
-------------------------------
Get involved
Watch this space for future land justice learning circles, held every last Sunday of every month. We also invite those who live locally to join us in co-creating our learning circles together, to incorporate Wolves Lane led projects to shape our community space into one that meets our community's needs. Drop us a message if you're interested!
These learning circles are brought to you by @community_action_for_land_lib , a small group of local community organisers working towards achieving Planet Repairs within our community.
