Young Creators Lab: Connect and Create

Come and join us for an inspiring evening of talks, music, film screenings and creative networking at the Library, as we celebrate our Young Creators Lab programme, and our new series of films exploring the change-makers.

Bringing together exciting experts from the worlds of social media, journalism, and the museum and heritage sector, this event is the perfect opportunity to get inspired, grow your network and meet other young creatives.

What’s on

Enjoy the perfect summer evening with live DJs, a pop-up outdoor cinema, creative stations including painting and tote bag printing, and career drop-in sessions with experts. Get to know other young creatives and meet professionals to gain advice, tips, and support on your creative journey.

Who are the change-makers?

Our Young Creators have been diving into the our collection to share inspiring stories of powerful change-makers throughout history, from 19th-century satirist William Hone, to activists Angela Davis and Malala Yousafzai and the UK’s first queer bookshop, Gay’s The Word. Visit our outdoor cinema to watch the films at the event, or follow us on TikTok or YouTube @britishlibrary to watch them online.

The Helen Hamlyn Trust Young Creators Lab is an exciting digital content project for 18–24 year olds, sparking global conversations inspired by our collection.
