Culture & Art for the Square Mile (CA4SM)

In an increasingly divided London, the RJ4All International Institute ran the Culture & Art for the Square Mile project (CA4SM, spring 2020) children-led project, making the City’s cultural offerings available to families in South East London. The project was funded as part of the City of London Corporation’s ‘Inspiring London through Culture’ initiative.

CA4SM aimed at enhancing the Square Mile cultural heritage and creative future by providing children an opportunity to learn and use their creativity.

Project Objectives

List of Services

This project was founded upon the belief that art and restorative justice can be a vehicle for cultural transmission and a mean which brings people together and encourage community cohesion.

We used restorative justice values such as equality, power sharing and dialogue to create a ‘safe space’ which will allow children’s social and artistic capabilities to flourish.

Our activities

In order to reach our objectives, CA4SM partnered with Bizzie Bodies to hold art workshops where we taught children about the Square Mile culture whilst improving their well-being and diverting them from harm.

Children learned new skills, including technological ones, which will enable them to deliver cultural products in the future, enhancing London’s creative future.
