Att10tive Projects
Our projects have the aim to bring communities together, often engaging with people who wouldn’t usually have the opportunity to meet. In addition, running events and projects enables us to develop project management, critical thinking, leadership skills and life skills to our team members. Att10tive projects have a major impact on budding cohesion and tackling exclusion.

Stories of Identity
This project allowed people to make fictitious stories of identities, people who come from diverse communities or who had different protected characteristics. These stories are motivational and inspiring.
Stop & Think Exhibition
This project took place in 2020. The focus was to encourage people to provide artwork and a play about knife crime. Our partners included Sundon Park Arts, Icknield High School, Barnfield College, Romania Link organisation and students from Luton Sixth Form College.
Looking Through the Window
This project took place during the lockdown in 2020 for ten weeks. The idea of the project was to invite people to look out of their windows and make a painting or drawing of what they see. It didn’t actually have to be their own windows, it could be whatever they pictured in their minds. Over the ten weeks many fantastic images were collated, some people making multiple images for our Facebook page and website
Bsafe
The Bsafe project was all about ways to keep people safe from a variety of harms and risks, including bullying, online cyberbullying and in person, of risky behaviors due to gang crime, violence against women and girls as well as other types of risks to vulnerable people. Participants made stories then created videos to showcase these and shared them on social media or amongst schools.
