“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.”

—bell hooks

Ecological Health in Neighbourhoods is a peer-to-peer learning journey for people interested in addressing systemic inequities to communally create neighbourhoods that are life-sustaining, providing people and Nature with health, dignity, and justice.

Hosted in partnership between Centric Lab, CIVIC SQUARE and Centre For Alternative Technology, the purpose of this collective journey is to create the space and time for communities advocating for justice in their neighbourhoods to imagine, learn, and grow their own ecosystems, frameworks, and practices for healing through non-western epistemologies, data knowledges, and Kinship.

We are humbly picking up the baton from those who came before and have shown us that neighbourhoods can be places of dreams, revolutions, and hubs of justice. In 1969, The Black Panthers established free medical clinics in neighbourhoods to provide racialised Black Peoples with the healthcare they deserved. This was a communal effort between communities and health practitioners, and is just one example that drives us in what is possible when we organise, learn and dream together, acknowledging that social justice is intrinsically entwined with health justice.

Running from July 2023 to March 2024, through this journey over 9 months you will learn together through dynamic exchanges with a range of peers from across the UK. Your common goal will be to share knowledge, ideas and energy openly and generously in order to take action as part of your neighbourhoods, with a focus on live and regular organising in your place.
