To the young, the old, the optimist, the pessimist, the hopeful, the sad, the angry, the activists, the tired, the bored and the inspired.
There’s a looming general election in which some of us are just old enough to vote for the first time and some of us are still too young to have our say on who our next Government will be. So…
For four days we, the young people of Wandsworth will taken up residence at BAC in Battersea’s Old Town Hall and through performance, beatboxing, film, discussions with local parliamentary candidates, slam poetry, sleepovers and a manifesto we are going to present a world vision of our own. We invite you to come and see what it looks like…
