How youth culture inspires, disrupts and drives east London forward

This opening session invites participants to have conversation on how an emerging, inclusive, urban youth culture inspires, disrupts and drives East London forward. We learn about the contemporary ecosystem of diverse experiences/communities on offer, examining what factors are driving this new form of social innovation.

This session will encourage participants to respond to story prompt cards as a tool for stimulating critical thinking and generating novel ideas, offering an opportunity to explore individual experiences with contemporary youth culture.

Whether challenging personal assumptions or collectively evaluating the state of east London’s creativity, this session invites audiences into a dynamic dialogue between personal stories, explorative provocations and shared experiences.  

This event is for anyone living, working or studying in east London, aged 18+, emerging or established within the creative sector.

As part of the Ideas Exchange programme of interactive talks, this event will be documented through film, photography and live artist interpretation.
