CUlture Corner

Culture Corner is a dedicated space that explores and embraces different cultures and identities within the Kensington & Chelsea communities. We use this space to educate young people and listen to their views and voices.

We use a variety of digital platforms to capture content including:

• Zoom for video sessions and recording

• Physical spaces such as The Hut and local landmarks for filming

• Social Media platforms including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram

• YouTube for streaming video footage

Culture Corner is part of our Digital Stop Programme, an online youth provision for young people 11-19 years old. This project is currently inactive, awaiting further funding.

Notting Hill Carnival

We created a number of videos to help educate young people about Notting Hill Carnival and encourage engagement in what is a very important part of our community. We worked in partnership with Elimu Mas Academy.
