Interested in Belonging?

Belonging is a video project during which young people of Newham participate in a free 5 days workshop (from the 18th of August until the 22nd) from 9 am to 4 pm each day at Forest Gate Community School . With the help of the video artists, the young people will learn about the realities of migration and settlement in Newham and will then storyboard, film and edit their own ideas related to the theme of belonging.

There will be screening at the end of the week for friends and family.

The short films will then be screened at various events and a selection will be shown on national TV in the UK , France and Portugal where two other workshops will have been held.

Several young people from the NYPO project have applied to go on the course and attended pre-event meeting at Little Ilford Centre yesterday


Rain Fails to Stop Play on Expedition Weekend

On the weekend - 9th to 10th August - eleven NYPO members went on a Duke of Edinburgh Award practice expedition to Epping Forest

The weather forcast was for heavy showers on Saturday and light showers on Sunday but the rain stayed away until Saturday afternoon by which time the group had almost finished their first walk. When they came the showers failed to dampen either the enthusiasm of the group or the campfire that they eventually managed to build. It rained heavily through the night but by dawn the showers were over to give the group a fine day for their second walk.

The expedition was arranged and led by Spike Rahman, supported by Gavin Sealey and Sharon Barbour. All the NYPO members attend the Cyber Workshop and have signed up to complete the DoE Award. Spike commented that the group really worked well together, everyone was enthsiastic so it was an enjoyable weekend for both staff and members.
