WHAT IS SUSTAIN SPACE?

Sustain Space is a hub of creative projects, events, workshops and activities led by, with and for young adults. It’s a space to grow, experiment and learn about ideas relating to social justice, identity, climate, science, health and technology.

You’ll meet other emerging creatives, convenors, activists and curious folk, as well as make connections with researchers at King’s and professional artists. Sign up to the Sustain Space newsletter to hear about upcoming events and opportunities.

WHO IS IT FOR?

People aged 18 - 25 who live, work or study in Southwark or Lambeth
Students at King’s College London (undergraduate & postgraduate)

It aims to support young people - particularly those underrepresented in higher education and the creative industries - to realise their ambitions. Even if you don’t see yourself working in an arts, science, health or research-based job, we hope Sustain Space has something to offer you.
