Newham’s Manifesto

The People Speak work closely with Newham Council’s Youth Empowerment Service. Every quarter, the Youth Empowerment Service host a Youth Assembly and The People Speak are actively involved in making those events interactive and meaningful.

In the lead up to the country’s general elections in 2024, we worked closely with Newham’s Youth Empowerment Service and their dedicated youth ambassadors to co-create and animate their assembly. We wanted to create an impactful message that would be shared with council members and policy makers. Young People were given the prompt:

If I were PM for the day…

Together, we created Newham’s Manifesto based on the ideas put forward and what they felt passionate about. The result was a visually impactful wall of placards created by the young people themselves.
