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.
Power Youth Action
Att10tive has been working in partnership with the Beds VERU (The Bedfordshire Violence and exploitation reduction unit) to gather the views of a wide range of young people on their thoughts to serious youth violence. This has included focussing on young people who for whatever reason don’t usually have a chance to hear their views and opinions. The idea is to ensure that interventions and support provided are shaped by the needs of young people they are focussed on benefitting. The process is shaping services, reacting to local needs and intervening early.
I am Unique
Celebrating uniqueness using Art Photography and poetry in partnership with Barnfield college, Luton Sixth Form, Chalk Hills Academy, Denbigh High school, Putteridge High School and Stockwood Park Academy.
Att10tive Celebration Event
Att10tive held a celebration event in recognition of the contributions of the organization to the local community and to recognise the input and individual development of our team. This was an opportunity for our directors, colleagues, friends, family members and partners to come together, to meet each other and to talk of our plans going forward.
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.
One Luton
This project which took place in 2019 celebrated the town of Luton by using film, photography, poetry, storytelling and dance. It also provided food from Eastern Europe, the Indian sub continent, English food and food from the Caribbean.
One Luton was a collaboration between Att10tive and some of our key partners including Next generation Youth Theater, Luton Tigers, the rapper Si Phil and Luton Sixth Form College. One Luton provided the opportunity for people to use media forms such as video and photography for the first time and display these in front of a town wide forum of VIPs from a wide range of organisations.
Community Cohesion Through Cuisine

This included people from youth groups, colleges ,the University’s cheerleading team, performers and dancers. Culture storm was a riot of performance, music, dance and film.
