It Belongs to Us is a creative, hands-on workshop, inviting residents to reimagine their streets and public spaces. Participants can respond to the question:

‘If this place truly belonged to us, what would we change?’.

Using recycled materials such as cardboard, paper, and packaging, individuals and small groups will build parks, buildings, bridges, and civic spaces. These will be assembled into a shared model of a reimagined neighbourhood.

Open to children, families, and older residents, the workshop encourages intergenerational dialogue, combining youthful imagination with lived experience to explore community identity, collective ownership, and the future of local places. Free to join, but you must register below.

Hosted in partnership with local arts organisation Art in the Docks. Come along to learn more about Newham and what your new home away from home could look like.

The same workshop will take place in three different locations:

• UEL Docklands Campus University Way, London E16 2RD

• UEL Stratford Campus Water Lane London E15 4LZ

• UEL University Square Stratford Campus 1 Salway Road London E15 1NF
