ADT and AchieveAbility have collaborated on a project for the Olympiad "Inspire" programme delivering a programme of 8 workshops in the East End of London and involving approximately 130 young people from 14 -18 years old. Each workshop inspired a set of images for innovative online and real time posters depicting the youth culture and the values of 2012 in the East End of London.

Nine leading artists, championing visual and verbal communication skills, worked with up to 10 young people in each workshop for two days. Arts Dyslexia Trust provided the artists and the AchieveAbility network linked them up with the Schools and Colleges within the boroughs of Waltham Forest, Newhaven, Hackney, Barking. AcheiveAbility was already working with these boroughs through the AimHigher London East Thames Gateway partnership. Workshops took place between September 17th and December 18th 2011.
