Show Up For Success: Nature, Place, Belonging is a cross-sector collaboration between The Lab E20, Newham Council, Kind At Heart CIC, RAEBURN and Get Living. Our shared mission, through co-design and co-creation is to develop and scale a place-based platform and programme for young people with disabilities and learning difficulties within the London Borough of Newham, who wish to excel in career pathways into the creative industries and hospitality sectors.
Following on from our successful pilot 2024 Show Up For Success summer school in partnership with Newham Council’s Youth Empowerment Service in 2024, for 2025 we have a bigger and broader scope extending to industry, employers and local commercial stakeholders, exploring the ways in which we must reskill, upskill and improve talent retention and accessibility in corporate and cultural spaces. The Show Up For Success: Nature, Place & Belonging Symposium will take place in The Lab E20 1st May, 2025.
This conference will be supported by our partners Fair Shot Cafe, Adoreum & Partners, With Not For and London College of Fashion, University Arts London and in collaboration with a host of experts, practitioners and our artists in residence here in The Lab E20, we will be looking to foster new connections, solutions and partnerships for the future as we begin to develop and scale employment opportunities for our Show Up For Success annual Summer School.
