One group worked with a director to create a short film called This is Me and the other group worked with artists to make a booklet titled This is Harlesden.

This is Me is a short documentary which has discussions between young people on issues such as school uniforms, fashion and identity.
The book, This is Harlesden, has images of the area and poetry which was inspired by interviews with residents.
The film can be viewed at Harlesden Library, Craven Park Road, where there are also free copies of the booklet.
Ms Tutton added that she would love to run the project again but with a focus on the wider Brent community.
