SOUTHWARK LIFE: When did you decide you wanted And what has been your most nerve-wracking to be a journalist? television experience? AYSHAH: I went on a school trip to a newspaper when I was 15 I was doing a live bulletin from the Isle of Lewis for the eclipse as part of my media studies GCSE. We had to come up with the and all the communication from the team back at the studio stories for the front page. I sat down at the desk and realised went down. It was a bit of a nightmare because the team tell me how much fun I was having. And from that moment, I said to lots of important information in my ear while I’m on telly. Luckily myself, I want to be a journalist. we were able to get through the bulletin surprisingly well, but I did feel very nervous doing it. What advice do you have for someone who would like to become a journalist? Who has inspired you? Firstly, get as much work experience as you can; you won’t I’m inspired by the amazing journalists on our screens who tell know you like the job until you do it. Hospital and local radio us what’s going on in the world. One of my favourite journalists and newspapers were how I started out. Secondly, be persistent (I have many, I’ll name some of them later) is Matt Frei.

I’ve never been asked this question before. I’m going to say Gabrielle Union. She’s the star of Being Mary Jane and loads of other films too. She comes across as sassy, intelligent, brave and beautiful. If someone like her could play me, it would be a dream come true. Exclusive interview with Ayshah Tull Has there been any particular praise or criticism What book are you reading right now and do you that has stuck with you? have an all time favourite book? I got praised for my work that I did on black children and their I’m reading The Road to Memphis which is written by Mildred aspirations. It was a Newsround exclusive and we found in a D.

I think they should make it into a TV show one day; I’d love to see that. Do you hear from your viewers much? What kind of things do they say? What does Black History Month mean to you? It’s my favourite thing in the world to hear from our audience. It’s a chance to reflect, celebrate and remember the rich history They always have an opinion about what we do; sometimes of my ancestors. It means so much to have a chance to do good but sometimes bad. At least they’re honest. I get a couple this. I always seem to learn something new from the wonderful of letters sent to my office, which I absolutely love. One girl said exhibitions, plays and TV programmes that come out at this time. I was her inspiration and she wanted to be like me when she was older. That made me cry, it was so sweet. I keep all the letters that are sent to me.

    SERP Reactivated 15 March – 22 April 2018

    PRESS RELEASE SERP Reactivated 15 March – 22 April 2018 - new project led by Peckham Platform meaningfully addresses the erosion of arts in education today - public programmes at Tate Exchange and Flat Time House draw on significant archives of the radical and influential Southwark Education Research Project (1989-95) - artists Barby Asante and Barbara Steveni collaborate on new work in schools and with the archive Between 1989 and 1995 the Southwark Education Research Project engaged over 1,500 children and teachers by placing artists in fifteen schools across the London borough of Southwark. SERP created interventions in the schools it worked with, encouraging participants to question the education process and providing new ways for them to engage with the arts. The project created a model for replication across the country by involving the local authority, the inspectorate, teachers and pupils – and in doing so gained recognition nationally and internationally. In 2018 Peckham Platform revisits SERP’s significance, at a time when education policy focuses overwhelmingly on measuring attainment through exam results and league tables, and increased bureaucracy coupled with reduced budgets has seen a reduction in the opportunities for young people to engage with culture and the creative process in-school. Peckham Platform’s project has two main strands – securing and reactivating the archive of the original SERP; and public programmes at Tate Exchange and Flat Time House, which present highlights from the archive alongside new material created through collaboration between artists Barbara Steveni and Barby Asante. Barbara Steveni was one of SERP’s original co-founders and the archive of material that she personally collated includes documents, photographs, correspondence, audio, video and artworks.

    Allocation of Local CIL Southwark - Phase 2

    Item No. Classification: Date: Meeting Name: 13. Open 19 January 2021 Cabinet Report title: Community Investment Plans – Allocation of local CIL Southwark - Phase 2 Ward(s) or groups Camberwell Green, Champion Hill, Dulwich Hill, affected: Dulwich Village, Faraday, Goose Green Newington, Old Kent Road, Peckham, Rye Lane, South Bermondsey, and St Giles. Cabinet Member: Councillor Alice Macdonald, Communities & Equalities FOREWORD - COUNCILLOR ALICE MACDONALD, CABINET MEMBER FOR COMMUNITIES & EQUALITIES In Southwark we are committed to ensure that regeneration works for all and that our neighbourhoods thrive. The Community Infrastructure Levy, a levy raised on development schemes, is just one of the ways in which developments can benefit the local community and one of the ways in which developers can give-back to the community - especially to those who've been impacted by the building works. Southwark has raised roughly £23m in CIL since 2015. 25 per cent of this - almost £6m - has been designated as local. Following the Cabinet report approved on 8 December 2020, I am pleased to bring forward this second set of community investment plans for approval which have been shaped by our communities. In March we launched an online consultation which generated over 1000 project suggestions from residents. These were then considered by ward councillors. Projects selected by ward councillors are those which are considered to have the most strategic benefit for the whole ward, or alternatively which meet a specific ward issue which councillors for that ward identified as a priority. The proposals presented in these plans range from improvements to parks, the public realm and community buildings and I am sure will bring significant benefits to our residents.

    Creative Southwark 2017 to 2022' Mid-Term Review July 2019 PDF 221 KB

    APPENDIX 2 Creative Southwark Mid-term review July 2019 1 Summary 1. The paper outlines the progress made in the implementation of the creative economy and growth area of Creative Southwark, our cultural strategy. This series of ambitious programmes built on strong, innovative, internal and external partnerships have and will continue to evolve over the life of the strategy leaving a lasting legacy for residents and businesses. Background 2. The creative industries are the fastest growing part of the UK’s economy, and play a significant role in unlocking innovation and growth in other sectors too. This success is fuelled by established international brands all the way through to micro-businesses, self-employed workers and freelancers. At the time of writing this paper, one in 11 of all UK jobs is in the creative economy. 3. The creative industries have long stimulated the transformation of key areas of London but paradoxically, as the city evolves, space to support these activities is being lost. 4. Southwark has always been a centre for creative excellence with a vast cultural footprint that sets it on an international stage. The people living, working and studying in Southwark and our growing visitor numbers all contribute to this diverse unrivalled cultural landscape. 5. To ensure Southwark’s reputation as a borough of creativity, innovation, and opportunity, the council approved Creative Southwark in March 2017, This strategic approach to the development of cultural and creative industries over the next five years recognises the significant part that cultural access and the creative industries plays and will increasingly play to residents.
