2048 Legacy:
Passing the Baton Across Windrush Communities
he Windrush Anchor Heritage Education Programme (WAHEP), a recipient of the UK Prime Minister’s Points of Light Award, is a leading civic and cultural institution advancing the Windrush 2048 vision.
WAHEP advances community-led research, sustainable livelihoods, and community development, alongside intergenerational development, policy implementation, and strategic partnerships.
WAHEP connects outward across national and international networks, strengthening Windrush communities while connecting heritage, opportunity, and development to wider global systems.
Through this approach, knowledge, responsibility, and leadership are actively passed forward as part of a living and evolving legacy.
SPACE: Tomorrow’s Economy
This approach is designed to provide strategic direction for space education and to build public support for the sector. Our mission is to empower young people and descendants to identify challenges using space technologies, AI-enabled initiatives and data within their neighbourhoods and communities and to contribute actively to sustainable solutions that strengthen Families, Neighbourhoods, and Livelihoods, aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and Africa 2063.
Space Pathways Ecosystem Creativity Awards 2025 supported by Odyssey Magazine and the British Interplanetary Society
The 2025 Space Pathways Ecosystem Creativity Awards, in their inaugural year, are founded on the imaginative vision presented in the book “A Glitch in Time” by author Lenore D. Greenaway and the symbolic logo inspired by the futuristic journey of the Windrush Spaceship K77-2048, created by Micah, aged 15.
These foundations set the tone for the first three pilot projects:
- BarbadosFutures Blue Space Project
- JamaicaFutures Sustainability Space Project
- MontserratFutures Volcano Space Project
All three projects are supported by the Caribbean Skills Space Hub, which provides capacity-building through Knowledge Exchange and Communities of Practice (CoPs).
Passing the Baton: The Next Generation Steps Forward
WAHEP has a formidable approach to “Passing the Baton” because:
Young people need somewhere to go,
Young people need something to do,
Young people need someone to show them how.
This is achieved by inspiring inclusive, peaceful, caring, and enterprising neighbourhoods and sustainable communities, upholding the values of respect and inclusion as common ground for all—regardless of background, culture, status, or location.
