COME TOGETHER, RIGHT NOW!

Our youth animation summer project is in full swing. This year we're working on stop motion animation and creating a adventure anthology where detention isn't all that it seems!

“Come together, right now” is a week-long stop motion animation project where young people will create 4 short stories through stop-motion animation on individuality and unity. Why being different isn’t wrong and why being together is always right.

“There is no them, only us.”

A professionally filmed documentary on the behind-the-scenes process will also be created.

This project is aimed at young people between the ages of 11-19.

Dates: Every day from Monday 7th of August to Friday 11th of August 2023, 10am-3pm

Venue: The Brady Arts Centre, 192-196 Hanbury Street London E1 5HU

This is a Free event but spaces are limited and only available through pre-booking.

Hard Times: Young People's guide to employment

In these times of recession, young people seem to be at the greatest disadvantage. Higher University fees, not enough experience for work and the reputation for being unruly and unreliable. This is a docu-film designed to help increase young people's chances of getting into work and training. A well deserved advantage for a undeserved disadvantage in these tough times!
