Highlights from INSPIRE festival 2017 | OBLive

Now in its fourth year, INSPIRE festival celebrates young people in Barking and Dagenham by bringing local secondary and primary schools together to develop the artistic talents of their students.

Each year the students taking part pick the theme to focus on – in 2017 they went with the theme ‘diversity’. The children then began to collaborate in hubs across the borough, creating dance, drama, art, music and spoken word pieces that came together to form the amazing showcase of work that was INSPIRE festival 2017.
