Here's a selection of fun activities for you and your family...
 Bringing St Margaret’s House to you!
With support from the Arts Council, St Margaret's House is bringing Tower Hamlets residents a full programme of digital events led by St Margaret's House friends.
There will be fun dance workshops, a community choir in partnership with East London Cares and the talented Create Place artist Milou Stella will lead a series of craft workshops.
There will also be online family arts activities and opportunities to see their work through screenings, play readings and talks.
 Minute of Listening
Minute of Listening is a digital platform on which there are several hundred one-minute tracks of music or sound, photos, text, and three questions to generate discussion - currently free of charge.
How to use: create a free trial account, if you don’t already have one, and then start exploring exciting sounds and teaching resources from the collection.
 A New Direction (plus resources)
A New Direction works with partners across education, culture and the creative industries - along with local government and business - to support children and young people to be creative.
They have also developed a range of online and remote support for teachers and members of the cultural sector. They provide experiences which help identify areas of inequality while campaigning for policy change.
