ROOTS LDN Community Research Project

What is ROOTS LDN?

ROOTS LDN is a community research project, run by You Press in collaboration with the GLA (Greater London Authority). The project focuses on social inclusion, integration and developing civic leadership in communities that currently do not have a voice in City Hall.

After the success of the first project in 2018, we ran a second project, ROOTS LDN 2019, which focused on exploring the root causes of youth violence in London.

View both of our projects here:

Roots LDN 2018
Roots LDN 2019

What does the project involve and why should I apply?

If you are between the ages of 16-30 and from a BAME background, get in touch! We are looking for a group of 15 talented young people with an interest in creative arts/writing and giving a voice to their communities.

During the project, our young people will interview their family members and turn their stories into an art form, such as short stories, poems or visual comics. Training will be given to participants to develop their skills in these areas, and they will have the opportunity to see their work published in a collective booklet at the end of the project.

How long is the project?

June 2019 – March 2020.

How do I apply?

Applications are now closed for ROOTS LDN 2019. Please follow us on social media to stay up to date with future opportunities.

'Last month we had the honour of working with one of our clients on their project, celebrating International Women's Day. We believe womanhood should be celebrated every day.

We give special thanks to Burrogrande Film Productions, Paddington Central, Regent's Place, and Broadgate London for this powerful collaboration. We hope you enjoyed the 2-part screening of '36 Voices, 6 Cities'. We would also like to thank the panellists and our young spoken word artists for their time as well as their powerful stories. We wish Cathy Hassan and her team the best of luck in completing the documentary once the restrictions ease.

Meet Sabiha, our previous Intern!

"I would like to thank You Press for having the faith in me and encouraging me to always achieve my best! Being part of the you press family and my first exposure to the creative industries; I feel privileged to have worked with such a talented multidisciplinary team of people. I have had the opportunities to explore so many aspects of my own creativity which has opened up so many possibilities for my own future. You Press should be commended for their encouragement of the youth voice and are vital in representing them. I am so grateful for everything I have learnt and thank Farah with providing the foundations for me to build my experiences upon."

You Press interns develop their personal and professional skills working in a warm, friendly environment. Interns have the opportunity to use creative skills to uniquely contribute to You Press projects, alongside day to day running.
