Children on art

The Children’s Board is made up of 8-11 year olds from across Newham and has an important voice in shaping Culture Within Newham’s activity programme. The board was set up in 2024, when we contacted local primary schools to give children the chance to decide what creative and fun things happen in Newham. The vision? Setting up a board that could get children involved in programming exciting events near where they live, and supporting Newham’s future artists and creative leaders.

This film gives an insight into the participant led process facilitated by Ricebox Studios and commissioned by Culture Within Newham.
