JanineA youth-led project in Harehills is set to challenge stereotypes and misconceptions with a series of creative projects and campaigns later this month.
Breaking Down Barriers is a project launched by Leeds Muslim Youth Forum designed to bring diverse communities together to overcome bigotry and prejudice.
They will be celebrating the achievements of young people in the area at a presentation evening held at the Thackray Museum of Medicine in Harehills.
Doors will open at 5.30pm in order to begin the event at 6pm.
Food and refreshments will be served at the event.

Support independent community journalism!
East Side Story covers the people, places and stories in Leeds that are too often overlooked. While national headlines chase conflict and clickbait, we focus on real communities and the issues shaping daily life in East Leeds.
Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
East Side Story was created to change that. We answer only to our readers. We have no corporate owners or billionaire funders. Our journalists report freely, ask difficult questions and hold power to account.
Your support helps us keep this work going. Monthly contributions make the biggest impact because they allow us to invest in deeper reporting and fearless local journalism.
Supporters also receive exclusive updates, behind the scenes insights and other benefits as a thank you for keeping independent journalism alive.
