East End Talking has been put together by Tower Hamlets’ children and young people to showcase what it means to live, learn and work in the East End.

Schools have the opportunity to borrow digital video kits to produce work for the site.

The site includes sections on Local History, Geography, and Citizenship, and pupils views of themselves and the world.

There is also a Resources section for teachers to use in schools.

Pupils and teachers are encouraged to upload work to the site.
