PAST EVENTS
Punch like a girl
Led by one of NOMAD's young people with the support of a qualified boxing coach, our Girls' Boxing Programme created a welcoming space for young women to build confidence, learn self-defence skills, and stay active.
Alongside boxing training, participants had the opportunity to connect with one another, form new friendships, and take part in open conversations about personal safety and their experiences of navigating the world as young women. The programme combined physical wellbeing with peer support, creating an empowering environment where participants could grow in strength, confidence and community.
girls youth project
Our Girls Group offers a confidential and supportive environment for young girls, providing a safe space to navigate the challenges they encounter daily.
NOMAD provides a secure setting where connections are nurtured, aiming to empower these girls to comprehend and embrace their identities. The group convenes weekly, engaging in face-to-face sessions, and frequently hosts inspirational speakers and activists.
shaah eyo sheeko
Shaax Eyo Sheeko Elder Project, is a program centred around bridging generational gaps through the curation of a digital archive documenting the stories of elders from migrant backgrounds.
creating a safe space for them to build connections, celebrate their lived experience and create dialogue between generations.
‘OUR STORIES ARE OURS TO SHARE.’
FILM SCHOOL
This year we launched Digi Film School, a free filmmaking and content creation programme for young
people interested in careers within the creative industries.
More than 20 young people took part, gaining practical experience across every stage of
filmmaking—from developing ideas to filming, editing, and production.
Participants received mentoring from industry professionals and visited YouTube to learn about career
pathways within digital media and content creation.
The programme culminated in a public screening at Old Street Cinema, where participants proudly
showcased their films to friends, family, and supporters. The evening concluded with an awards
ceremony celebrating their creativity and achievements.
CALL ME BY MY NAME
OUR YOUTH-LED RESEARCH PROJECT THAT EXAMINES THE LOCAL IMPACT OF KNIFE CRIME. AS PART OF THIS INITIATIVE, NOMAD ALSO PRODUCED A DOCUMENTARY TITLED CALL ME BY MY NAME. THE FILM EXPLORES DEEPER-ROOTED ISSUES AFFECTING YOUNG PEOPLE, SUCH AS THE IMPACT OF WAR AND TRAUMA.
THIS RESEARCH PROJECT WAS SPARKED AFTER NOMAD HELD AN EMERGENCY MEETING IN RESPONSE TO EIGHT STABBINGS IN ONE WEEK, ONE OF WHICH INVOLVED A 13-YEAR-OLD BOY WHOSE PARENTS HAD FLED THE WAR IN IRAQ.
THE MEETING, LED BY 40 YOUNG PEOPLE FROM NOMAD, BROUGHT TOGETHER THE POLICE, SCHOOLS, AND HARROW COUNCIL TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE AND ADVOCATE FOR INCREASED YOUTH PROVISION AND ACCESS TO FREE SPACES.
