Our Road Map

Despite huge leaps in community uptake of the online space over the last year, face to face and in person is still the best way of interacting with the community. The CBC wishes to prioritise a culture Hub for black creatives businesses, history and education in the borough of Camden. We want to create a permanent inclusive and multifunction space where we can drive progress for advisory and advocacy support for diversity and inclusion projects both within the local community and inviting partnerships / collaborations on various projects outside of Camden.

Consultancy – Continuing to work with local government and businesses in an advisory capacity to help them build towards a more inclusive equitable vision based on representation of minority groups within the community.

Work Experience – To provide valuable learning and employment experience for Camden’s underrepresented youths in the creative sector through internships, training schemes and mentorship.

Masterclasses – Targeted to assist creatives within the community wishing to increase their skills as well as share techniques and best practice within the industry, therefore building networks across our local community.

Events – Building a community relies on consistent engagement and momentum. This needs to be done through the use of inclusive, accessible and relevant activities to promote cultural awareness. We intend to do this by expanding on previous exhibitions and festivals as well as developing talks, workshops and webinars.

Competitions – Develop sustainable competitions to build a sustainable source of self-funding for projects, therefore reducing reliance on external funding, while at the same time increasing awareness of CBC projects and events.

Field Trips – Organise cultural field trips which would increase the educational value of projects.
