About

This Is What Culture Looks Like is a project run by Company Three for Islington Council. Company Three is one of the UK's leading theatre companies working with young people.  We've been working in Islington for more than 9 years and our work has been produced across the UK and on the BBC.

This Is What Culture Looks Like is a new project exploring what music, art, performance and culture mean to young people. It will be running in May and June for Year 8 students who have been especially nominated by their school and other organisations.  

You've been nominated because your teacher or youth worker thinks you are the perfect person to help us figure out the best way to influence the adults in Islington who make decisions.

During the project you'll be working with professionals to make films, podcasts, music and much more. You'll learn new skills and meet loads of new people.  The atmosphere with Company Three is incredibly friendly and safe - we guarantee you'll make new friends and have a lot of fun.
