VOICES OF THE WATER: IMMERSE YOURSELF

Written By Nicole Van den Eijnde

As part of our Voices of the Water project we have come across so many amazing books, films and projects which explore and recognise the importance of water in our lives and on Earth, from which we find inspiration. These have included the importance and sacredness of water linked to different areas, including wellbeing, cultural heritage stories, scientific stories and discoveries and the climate emergency. We share here some of these resources for you to explore and discover as well.

2024 April Blog - A day to simply say thank you

On the morning of 12th March, the day of our planned event to bring supporters, funders and friends of Global Generation together for a visit to our new triangle site and a thank you lunch, I open the curtains and see torrential downpour, I check my phone and the forecast says double rain for the whole day, I check my messages to see ‘do we need to cancel?’ and ‘is it going ahead?’

Since hearing of Siw’s illness and passing, I have felt her everywhere; in the warming spring soil, in scraps of wood I see on the street, in enamel cups stored in a box in the kitchen ready for instant coffee. I have felt her continue to guide me to be playful in motherhood through my memories of her steadfast support and encouragement as I worked alongside her for the past 8 years.
