Scribershive, a project that involved the collaboration between 16-30 year olds from London and seven European countries has launched.
Organisers say the event empowers young people to discuss social issues through a cultural lens, using different mediums is a social enterprise collaboration.
Participants’ projects were exhibited at the Yaa Arts Centre in Maida Vale.
A variety of workshops including painting, dance, spoken word poetry and filmmaking were being held, in the hope of having a ripple effect manifested by participants when they return back to their home communities.
“Access is not just about removing barriers, relaxed performances and reduced ticket prices. It’s about changing peoples mindsets,” Elena Yau, associate lecturer of Arts Policy Management at Birkbeck College told City News.
Samir Khan hopes the project will flourish in 2020 to focus on collaborations across London boroughs. Yusef, one of the participants at exhibition in London explained this experience was invaluable, “we are from different places and have had different challenges, but this shared experience allows us all to create our own narrative, for the better”.
