Welcome to the Seed bank

Art and culture have the power to bring people together, challenge the status quo and create the imaginary and real spaces from which new ways of living together can emerge.

This seed bank gathers examples of people, projects and organisations from around the world doing just that. They are tagged in the following categories; well-being, democracy and sustainable livelihoods.

This is just a start – if you have a project for the seed bank, please send a link to rethink@missionmodelsmoney.org.uk
