Together for Tomorrow

A celebration of creativity, climate action and community voices - Together for Tomorrow shows what can happen when residents, artists and local organisations come together to shape a sustainable future.

A community-made guide brings together ideas, artworks, climate pledges and visions for a greener future from people across Castle Point in South Essex. Pick up a copy of the guide from libraries in Castle Point.

An outdoor exhibition is displayed in locations across the borough.

Together for Tomorrow is a creative climate project for Castle Point in South Essex. It embodies Estuary Festival’s mission to spark cultural engagement by bringing communities and artists together to explore sustainable futures through creative thinking, making and doing.

Led by Estuary Festival and Metal Southend, it explores how local residents can imagine and shape a greener, thriving future for their borough.

Commissioned by Castle Point Borough Council, the project brings together residents, artists, community groups and climate action organisations to consider what a sustainable Castle Point could look like by the year 2050.

Across our earlier engagement work through This Is Us, one message came through loud and clear: communities want cleaner, greener and more accessible public spaces for everyone. Research such as the Essex Residents Survey also highlighted an opportunity to strengthen personal understanding of, and commitment to, climate action. Together for Tomorrow responds directly to these needs through creative activities designed to spark conversation, inspiration and change.
