Get ready to create!

We’re hosting 10 poetry sessions where you'll dive into poetry, creative writing, spoken word, and storytelling. At the end of the project, your work will be featured in a published book, which will be launched across 11 public libraries in Newham. Plus, you’ll get 5 copies of your own book!

The Young Legacy project is your chance to develop your creative and artistic skills while boosting your social well-being and personal growth. Our workshops will cover everything from poetry and creative writing to spoken word and performance techniques like body language, improvisation, pitching, voice projection, and modulation. You'll sharpen your artistic abilities, build self-confidence, connect with others in your community, manage stress, and strengthen your resilience to tackle mental health challenges.
