Meet WAF's Young Reviewers and Reporters

Meet the WAF Young Reporters and Reviewers - a cohort of brilliant young people from Wandsworth aged 14-19.

WAF Young Reviewers

WAF Young Reviewers aims to develop arts writing skills and engage young people with WAF, the Young Reviewers will explore how to write their own reviews with actor, writer and critic, Kalungi Ssebandeke, before choosing which WAF events they'd like to attend and review.

Look out for their reviews here on our website and on social media...

Hi I'm Jumobi and I wanted to join the programme to learn more about professional writing. I am a part of the creative writing club in my school and I think having more mentors to learn from will help my understanding of the writing. I hope to meet more writers during the programme.
