Young People
We are committed to providing opportunities for young people in Brent. We support them to find their way in the creative industries and to develop new skills.
At Metroland Cultures, we know that young people from our borough have enormous potential to develop creative careers and make great art and culture.
We’re committed to investing in the future of Brent. We run paid programmes to support young people develop the skills, experience and belief they need to thrive in creative careers.
Justice & Change
Justice & Change is a research programme built around the archive of the Brent Community Law Centre (1971-2001), which supported local people through decades of struggle over housing, policing, immigration and rights.
We are working with a group of young people as paid co-researchers – collaborating with Redthread and No More Exclusions, the project invites young people to explore the archive, record oral histories, meet community organisers and learn how people in the borough have organised for justice.
