From Stories to Solutions
What local knowledge can improve the choices we make in our everyday lives? How much is local knowledge part of our everyday sense of wellbeing?
We want to know our city like the back of our hands and reveal it to you in sounds, words and films that inspire you, inform you, and make you feel connected!
WE LOVE QUESTIONS! GOOD QUESTIONS START CONVERSATIONS, CHALLENGE ASSUMPTIONS, OPEN UP THE MIND TO NEW WAYS OF SEEING AND NEW WAYS OF THINKING!

Who’s doing what in your area and how you can take part

Community journalist Claudia Murg gives a passionate and very personal argument for why good journalism is local journalism. Claudia Murg went from being a child of Communist Romania, to illegal immigrant in a London fish & chip shop in the early nineties, to becoming a broadcast journalist and award-winning documentary film-maker for UK’s mainstream television for 15 years. She traded expensive London offices for a bus, converted into an office for her social enterprise: We Make Southampton. The mission is to capture the ‘contemporary portrait of Southampton’ and in the process, inform, inspire and connect.
