THE BIG PICTURE

2020 BARKING AND DAGENHAM MADE BY EVERYONE FOR EVERYONE! SPRING PROGRAMME 2020 1

WELCOME!

The next big thing will be lots of small things

Hello and welcome to a very special edition of the Every One Every Day paper. Big picture, big ideas, big newspaper!

It’s the beginning of a new decade and we wanted to share with you the Big Picture of what has been happening in Barking and Dagenham over the last couple of years, through Every One Every Day. Residents have created an inspiring and exciting collection of 150 projects and ideas. They have brought these ideas to life together with the Every One Every Day team and in this edition we are pulling all of these ideas and activities into a single newspaper, rather than putting four individual papers highlighting activities around the shops. This paper shows you everything happening across the borough - and there is so much going on that we had to make a bigger paper!

Why is getting involved in neighbourhood projects so important?

Is Every One Every Day an unusual project?

We are experiencing a number of challenges, including climate change, political upheaval and conflict, rising inequality. Many of us feel anxious about the things happening around us yet they are too complex to solve as individuals. The easiest response is not to respond. We live next to homes just like ours, where our neighbours, full of talents and ideas, remain inactive, just like us. Not because we don’t want to act, but because we literally don’t know where to start.

Yes it is! This is the largest practical

The Warehouse Apiary is a place for residents to come together and learn how to keep honey bees.

Whether it’s by hearing about the rich history, or finding tucked away spots, you’ll never believe where your legs can take you.

Honey bees, just like solitary bees, are great at fertilising plants so they can grow and reproduce. This makes them a great addition to allotments, gardens and farms.

There are around 270 species of bees in Britain and just under 250 of those are Wild Bees, also known as Solitary Bees. They don’t get a lot of attention because they don’t produce honey or wax but they are much more effective pollinators than honeybees. They don’t live in hives and instead build little homes using leaves, wood or holes in trees and buildings to lay their eggs. So, it’s important we create green spaces with lots of colourful wildflowers for them to collect nectar and pollen. The Wild Bee Homes project gives residents the opportunity to learn wood-working techniques whilst constructing hives using salvaged wood and digital making skills using machines like the Laser Cutter and CNC Machine. Turn to pages 12 - 13 to find out more.

A barter item is a simple token of thanks for the teacher for hosting the session, and it can be anything from a good joke to share, or a small item you need. Anyone can teach something that they are skilled at or passionate about, and everyone has a hidden skill or expertise that others would love to learn. It’s an ideal place to learn new skills, and to build confidence. Why not share what you know, and help create a space where everyone can learn together and where every day is a school day!

If we live differently, share more of our time, spaces, learning and ideas, then together can we can co-create the wonderful neighbourhoods we dream of to grow up in and grow old in? You have to build the projects, activities, relationships and networks in order to measure the impact of this much practical activity.

In the 26 months since Every One Every Day launched with it’s first shops in Ripple Road and Church Elm Lane the creativity and energy has been incredible. These two pages show some of the statistics from the project to give you a sense of the impact that 6,000+ people working together can create.

“My confidence was the major thing that I notice, my confidence and not being afraid to mix with people that don’t look like me, don’t cook like me, don’t speak the same language as me, don’t believe the same faith and breaking down those barriers and being able to communicate and get to know each other. I found that we didn’t even speak about our differences, the more we spoke, we kept meeting each other in the things that we were similar to. And as we go along, we’re realising that we’re meeting up back at the same place.” - Participant

5. PROTECT THE FUTURE Climate change requires us to readdress our relationship with the planet. Planting trees can be a great way to preserve and support biodiversity for future generations.

Types of Bees Honey bee A single red masonry bee is equivalent to 120 worker honeybees in terms of pollination!

They live together in hives. These are the most popular of the bee species because of the delicious honey and extremely useful beeswax they produce!

This Spring get together with other residents and learn abuot wild bees, all the planting opportunities to make your local area greener and get stuck into making a change for the future. Barking and Dagenham is Londons greenest borough so let’s lead from the front and make it greener, cleaner and wilder! Keep reading and don’t forget to save the date for sessions near you!

To find out more visit www. treecitiesoftheworld.org

How to get involved 1. 1,000 TREES Pick a spot ! Plant 1,000 trees this Spring. There are trees for gardens, parks, allotments, that green space down the bottom of the road, schools or playgrounds.

2. BUILD HOMES FOR WILD BEES Wild Bees or Solitary Bees make up 90% of the UK’s bee population. They love nectar and are amazing pollinators - much more effective and just as important as honeybees! They don’t live in hives and find their homes in nature - take part this Spring in building homes for mining bees and cavity nesting bees!

The first way you can plant wildflowers is by scattering seeds thinly over a bare patch of moist soil, or in rows on a seedbed. They barely need covering and with the rainfall they will begin to germinate and grow with no maintenance during the spring months. You can collect a seed kit with a variety of wildflowers of your choice from anyone of the local Every One Every Day shops.

4. BECOME A COLLECTIVE POINT Your place of work, school, community centre or business could become a place for residents to pick up their trees. Email zoe@weareeveryone.org to find out more!

3. PLANT WILDFLOWERS Wildflowers are a fantastic way of rewilding your garden, a green space or park. It’s a very simple way to create the local wildflower meadows and have a green space looking colourful in no time!

SEED BOMB RECIPE What you’ll need to make a seed bomb: - Meadow flower seeds or seeds collected from the garden. - Peat-free compost. - Water. - Powdered clay (found in craft shops). - Mixing bowl.

How to make your seed bomb: 1. In a bowl, mix together 1 cup of seeds with 5 cups of compost and 2-3 cups of clay powder (you could use clay soil instead if you have it). 2. Slowly mix in water with your hands until everything sticks together. 3. Roll the mixture into firm balls. 4. Leave the balls to dry in a sunny spot. 5. Now for the fun bit! Plant your seed bombs by throwing them at bare parts of the garden and wait to see what pops up!

Wild bee Wild bees do not produce honey or beeswax but they are amazingly effective pollinators!

PARTICIPATION CULTURE

PLANET POSITIVE

In a Participation Culture, people are at the centre of making their neighbourhoods exciting, inspiring, enjoyable and healthy places to live. People co-design every project and co-produce every outcome. These small practical inverventions lead to a wider sustainable community and the environment.

The planet is shared between all living beings. In today’s age, it is important to understand the responsibility of sharing the planet’s limited resources and environment with fellow living things and those who will inherit it in the future. Planet Positive means to work in a way that is least harmful to these resources and protects the environment. To be Planet Positive is to meet the needs of people today, without compromising future generations.

COLLABORATIVE Collaboration means anything that involves two or more people working together towards a shared goal. A neighbourhood where networks of people understand each other, look out for each other and respond to problems together, is known as Collaborative Culture. This helps in creating strong communities which are ready to face the problems of the coming decade. In a Collaborative Culture, people work through practical, social projects in a more equal way and take decisions together, keeping everyone’s views in mind.

CIRCULAR ECONOMY A traditional linear economy consists of take, make, use, dispose. This is harmful to the environment as it generate enormous waste. Circular Economy is an alternative to this system. In a Circular Economy, materials and products are reused, recycled, and upcycled. This helps in reduction of waste material and dependence on raw materials. It creates new economic opportunities and businesses and in turn, leads to huge benefits to the environment and society at large.

“EVERY ONE EVERY DAY IS BUILDING THE KIND OF NEIGHBOURHOODS EVERYONE IS GOING TO WANT TO LIVE IN IN THE FUTURE.” - ALEX RYAN, MARS SOLUTION LAB

INCLUSIVE In an inclusive system, no one or no particular group is left out or left behind. Participation opportunities can sometimes feel favoured towards confident and educated people or those that already know each other well. For a new system, it is important that opportunities are more welcoming and have no or very few barriers. Inclusivity benefits the whole neighbourhood and helps achieve common goals.

OPEN SOURCE Open Source means that the recipe for any given work is shared and free for anybody to use. Open Manufacturing is a new way of manufacturing where objects are produced in an open and collaborative manner based on the Open Source principles. The benefits of Open Source are that everybody has access to the source, everybody has opportunity to remix and redistribute, you don’t have to necessarily go back to vendor for getting things fixed. Being Open Source,sharing new ideas and increased cooperation leads to higher standards of manufacturing.

FABRIC WORKSHOP

PANTRY

I learned to grow things with my mum who does a lot of growing food. We would grow beetroot and potatoes when I was younger and then cook with them.

Connection and engagement with the natural world and the resources it provides is very important to me. I like to grow and forage the food I eat and also practice bushcraft, so learning about pottery is an extension of that desire to explore and experiment with natural materials.

I’ve been practicing my craft for 3 years, from designing, pattern cutting and sewing.I have also started my own unisex fashion label called Alantic Glo.

My father, a Ayurvedic medicine practitioner, taught me about the health benefits of spices and herbs.

I have a real appreciation for food, especially when you cook with it after all that effort!The hydroponics in the Warehouse has been really fun, we’ve been experimenting with beetroot, pineapple and other things. I think it’s really important to think about where our food comes from and now I really want to start hydroponics in my school!

Since becoming a member of the Slab Collective, I’ve learnt new skills and techniques of working with clay beyond the pottery wheel, such as building items by the coil or slab method and also experimented with glazing and decorating with slip. It’s been great getting to know the others, we’ve worked together to create bowls that were sold in Barking before Christmas.

I came to the Warehouse after a friend recommended it to me and have been coming back ever since. The atmosphere is friendly and thats why I come here rather than working from home. Today I have just finished my first ever cut and sewn sample piece in this space so I am really excited to build on this and learn more.That’s the thing about The Warehouse, there’s always someone to ask about the equipment or an idea that you are thinking about.

Two years ago I joined the food business programme ‘Pantry’ and with the help of food experts I developed my own curry paste and test traded it at market stalls in London. At The Warehouse I learnt all the practical business skills - from using an industrial kitchen to recipe making, jaring a product, testing its shelf life, costing and talking to customers. My curry paste is now sold at six waste-free shops across London and I’m about to start healthy cooking classes.

THE WAREHOUSE THE LARGEST PUBLIC MAKERSPACE IN THE UK The Warehouse is a place for everyone; one of the biggest shared workshops (also known as a makerspace or hackspace) of its kind in London, open exclusively for residents of Barking and Dagenham.This Spring there will be many programmed activities, training, business programmes, or you can simply pop in for a cup of relaxing tea and use the co-working space and the garden. If in doubt the best place to start is attending a warehouse memebership induction.

WHAT IS A MAKERSPACE? It’s a new type of workspace with lots of exciting equipment. The Warehouse has different types of spaces and machinery, for woodwork, digital design, fashion and fabrics, for cooking in an industrial kitchen, co-working and event spaces.

OPEN ACCESS There is no cost for using The Warehouse for Barking and Dagenham residents. Members that come to The Warehouse will be part of looking after the spaces, equipment and sharing skills within the community. Everyone gets involved in organising how the spaces will be used, giving as much access to as many people as possible. You’ll need to attend a Warehouse membership induction to use the space but all the amazing sessions in this paper are open to everyone.

BUILD UPDATE The Warehouse construction was completed at the end of the Summer Progamme and is now an active space for people to use. There are now many spaces including a fabric workshop, industrial kitchen and co-working areas. This has now been joined by a CNC machine room, digital making area, woodworking area, computer terminals, learning lab (event space), an apiary and a ceramics workshop area!
