Utilising the power of film, education and media, the Mile End Community Project from East London, is a multiple award-winning organisation that has been engaging and empowering youth from the London borough of Tower Hamlets.

The founders of the organisation, Mohammed Nurull Islam and Assan Ali will now be giving an illustrated talk, Developing Critical Minds, as part of Culture Cafe series at School of Media and Cultural Studies, Tata Institute of Social Sciences.

The project was founded by a group of young neighbourhood volunteers in 1995, to create social and educational activities for young people, and mostly included unemployed Bangladeshi men from lower income groups.
