A Day of light Celebration
Vauxhall Gardens Community Centre,

Nueva Generacion (New Generation), is a Latin American youth organisation based in Lambeth, which will be celebrating its Tenth anniversary on Saturday the 8th of December at Vauxhall Community Centre.
Over the past ten years, Nueva Generacion has been an essential support base for many foreign nationals who have arrived in this country and have faced difficulties adapting to a new life in a new environment and culture. We aim to help people integrate into their new surroundings by holding many different workshops, such as drama, dance, Capoeira, percussions, poetry, photography and video through which we aim to empower young participants by boosting their confidence, allowing them to use their skills and abilities and to create a sense of belonging and participation.
We will be starting at midday (12.00am) with a Colombian traditional celebration of Farolitos, (a hand craft activity of lantern making for children) whilst a photography, art and sculpture retrospective exhibition will be taking place along with Video screenings. We will be offering workshop to everyone giving the opportunity to experiment with arts and craft making: Video, photography, Rumba-therapy Painting, Capoeira and Percussion. At 6pm we are offering and a traditional Colombian dinner for everyone.
The day will end with a Theatre Performance: Llorona material (a free adaptation Medea Material from Heiner Muller and La Llorona folk tale, this will be followed by a dance performance and a concert by Patacon and other surprise bands.
Our anniversary celebration is for everybody in the whole community regardless of their background or nationality who wishes to share our philosophy of integration and community support and to enjoy themselves in a day that has been ten years in the making.
