Following a training workshop with vocal coach Niamh Webb, Year 10 students skilfully led the discussion. Huge thanks to our incredible panellists: Orlaine McDonald, Abi Meats, Rohan Rakhit and Vanessa Whyte.
Schools Street Art Workshops

These will be available to view during the festival. Please contact schools@dulwichfestival.co.uk to join in future schools projects.
