INTRODUCTION
East-Side Educational Trust is a highly acclaimed, award winning, world record breaking arts and education charity. Our mission is to introduce children of all ages to the arts and literature in London and to raise young people's standards of achievement in language, literacy and artistic endeavour by unlocking the creative potential in everyone.
Our projects cover the entire spectrum of creative arts for young people including literature development, creative writing, poetry, drama, dance, singing, music technology, citizenship, film-making, sculpture and visual arts.
We work with young people right across the capital but also run national and international creative projects. By working collaboratively with schools, colleges and professional creative artists, our aim is to help bridge the gap between formal education and the arts. We want to provide young people (and the young at heart) with opportunities to directly experience the creative arts and to motivate and inspire the next generation of young writers, artists and performers.
