Aim: Diversionary scheme to encourage young people to nurture their talent
A leading poet has been recruited to help young people on a north London estate make positive decisions about their lives and stay away from gangs.
Adisa, a performance poet and lyricist, will take part in the project at the Campsbourne Estate, located between Muswell Hill and Hornsey.
