Goal: To give young people the chance to explore heritage through spoken word, rhyme and music
Funding: The project is supported by a Young Roots grant of 25,000
Using a mix of archive research and creative expression, Free Form Arts Trust's New Roots project was set up to celebrate the influence of global heritage in Hackney and unleash the talent of local young people.
New Roots worked with a group of young people drawn mainly from the London borough's Hackney Grove and Parkside youth clubs. The trust is a charity that aims to use art to improve communities. Young people also came from local drama groups and responded to adverts in the local newspaper.
