Participation: Recruited 24 young people from Newham to be trained and and carry out 15 oral histories which were then used to create a performance piece reflecting the rich and diverse heritage of the area. The young people also created an exhibition of archival photographs from the local archives.

The performances were filmed and then copies of the film kept at the local archives and libraries. The young people who took part received a Newham Community Volunteer certificate.

Young people were trained by the Oral History Society to carry out 24 interviews with local residents.

At the Black Cultural Archives, the young participants found out how to use archives, and with help from Mendezmedia, a media social enterprise, they trained in creating storyboards and filming.
