Black History Month 2008
Each year, Tower Hamlets Council helps to publicise a programme of events in the run up to Black History Month in October. Now a fixed and important part of the annual calendar, it provides a forum to highlight the positive contributions made by the black and ethnic minority community and celebrates black history, experience and culture.

The Better World Campaign
We're looking for inspiring young people from around the world, who've made a real difference to their own lives and those of others by getting their voices heard about the issues that matter to them.
Whether it was lobbying your council to improve the local park, setting up an action group to combat bullying, or even producing your own film, if you (or someone you know) has used speaking and listening skills to achieve something positive, we want to hear about it!
