Join our team: Justice & Change Project Coordinator
Metroland Cultures is seeking a Justice & Change Project Coordinator to help deliver a new project exploring how the law impacts and shapes people’s lives.
Overview Of Justice & Change
Justice & Change is a new project by Metroland Cultures that will explore how the law impacts and shapes our lives. The project takes its starting point from the Brent Community Law Centre (BCLC), one of the first community law centres to be set up in the U.K in 1971. BCLC developed a unique approach to community law that focused on collective action rather than individual cases, alongside creating The Brent Young People’s Law Project that specifically worked with young people and the legal struggles they were facing in four areas – care, employment, education and criminal justice.
What can looking at the existing archives of a law centre tell us about life in Brent during the 1970s, and what can it teach us about how the law impacts and shapes our lives today? How can it support us to imagine and practice justice as community care? How can listening to past community responses to harm offer us lessons in healing, repair and prevention for now, and in the future? How can exploring these histories creatively support people to respond to the issues that are most impacting them today?
