Client: Applecart Arts
Topic: Youth Advocacy & Empowerment
What we did: Each year Newham Council, in collaboration with the Discovery Centre & Applecart Arts, host a two-week festival of performances, poetry, exhibitions and workshops across the borough to celebrate the power of the written word. We were delighted to be asked back to Applecart Arts for a second year to train young aspiring producers on filmmaking and journalistic skills. In turn these young people were then supported by our filmmaker to attend and document the festival. This short documentary was then used by stakeholders to 1) share the impact of the 2019 event and 2) used to show what happens at the Newham Word Festival to future attendees and practitioners.
