Take action as an Ambassador
Global Generation have been running two Ambassador programmes for Action for Local Food - one for young people and one for adults. The programmes are designed to upskill Islington residents of different ages in food production, low impact technologies and permaculture, covering topics like composting, building soils, water harvesting and retention as well as site planning and development.
Both groups of Ambassadors are also supporting and initiating movement building events across the borough as well as visiting a range of other local growing spaces to strengthen their networks, learn from others and share approaches, skills and perspectives.
Our first year of Ambassador programmes are coming to an end. We will update you as soon as we are planning our next cohort of Ambassadors. If you would like to get involved in other ways, visit our Events page, or if you would like to register your interest for future Ambassador programmes, email generate@globalgeneration.org.uk
