Delivered by You Be You
In 2023, we are supporting You Be You’s “Empowering BME pupils in Tower Hamlets” project through our Connecting People and Places Fund’s Collaborative Commissions 2023, co-funded by City of London as part of our Foundations Programme.
“Empowering BME pupils in Tower Hamlets” will empower local BME pupils, particularly Bangladeshi students to learn more about themselves and their community through the power of art.
These commissions will unlock further understanding on how creativity can be used to deliver arts, education, employment programming that provides creative learning opportunities, employment and leadership roles, training and fusion skills development.
They also share a commitment to developing equity in their project’s design and delivery, supporting underrepresented people’s ideas and visibility.
We empower local BME pupils, particularly Bangladeshi students to learn more about themselves and their community through the power of art. We host art workshops led by local artists with lived experience.
The outcome: an empowered cohort of young people that are comfortable in who they are, expressing themselves and understanding the world around them. Skills that are vital for them to thrive both personally and professionally.
