The event brings together leading perspectives spanning land rights and stewardship, environmental justice, cultural leadership and strategic climate storytelling. All contributors work onsite, forming an ecology of experts whose insights reflect the breadth of environmental practice across the building.
Open to all, this morning of conversations and provocation invites reflection on how we move from concept to action, through practice, collaboration and shared learning.
Join us for this breakfast event to connect with others and build collective insight, supporting meaningful change within and beyond Somerset House. Refreshments by Café Petiole - our onsite plant-first café.
