THE OTESHA PROJECT UK
The Otesha Project UK is a youth-led educational charity that helps young people to become leaders on sustainable living, climate change and social justice. The Otesha Project UK works with young people aged 6-28 from a diversity of backgrounds, inspiring them to create social and environmental change through their everyday actions, like cycling or buying sweatshop-free clothes.
You can find The Otesha Project UK at Small Works Hackney most days of the week. They are running Dr Bike sessions on Tuesdays from 5 to 6pm and would love to support individuals or groups to set up their own projects in the area. They hope to offer lots more in the near future including: regular CV and employability sessions, accredited qualifications, eco-craft and bike projects for young people, and a paid work experience programme to support residents into green jobs.
