House of K.I.N.G.s Saturday School: Created 2 Create

House of K.I.N.G.s is a creative Saturday school for young people that combines performing arts, leadership development and life skills.

Founded by Actively SeeK.I.N.G. CIC, the programme supports young Black men and boys aged 7-18 from African, Caribbean and mixed-heritage backgrounds to grow in confidence, creativity and leadership.

Guided by the values of Knowledge, Identity, Nurturer and Gifts (K.I.N.G.s), participants develop their talents in drama, spoken word, music and movement while building confidence, cultural pride and strong character. Through workshops led by industry professionals and creatives, young people learn, create and present their ideas through the arts.

The programme runs from 19 September to 12 December at the University of East London and culminates in the Created 2 Create Festival.

Supported by Arts Council England, the programme is free to attend, with a £20 registration fee requested to secure a place and uniform. No young person will be turned away due to financial circumstances.
