This spring, we invited 30 young people age 8-16 in Hackney to take part in play sessions to express their ideas and talent to find their very own creative voice.
The result? Stunning billboards across Hackney this summer taking pride of place in this year’s Discover Young Hackney Festival.
Why we’re doing this
Hackney Young Voices is all about developing innovative thinking, creativity, problem-solving, collaboration, people skills. All crucial skills in the thriving UK creative industry and wider world of work.
