Day Two involved many more of the @CIVIC_SQUARE joined for a day of inspiration + learning exchange, the sun was out + it was incredible to see some of the businesses they have supported, neighbourhood shops, + a tour of the warehouse with the @everyone_org team.

Kicking off the morning Grounded, one of the community businesses incubated @everyone_org / @ParticipatoryC. The coffee is ace, + slightly mind blown an ecology centre is at the heart of a new development in Barking Riverside.

Had an epic day yesterday @everyone_org discovery day; so much inspiration for ways to create legacy for some of our project residency spaces. AND labelling/ putting away abilities were legendary
