The PIYN project involves aspiring artists and performers from Auckland’s ethnic communities, working with the best of contemporary UK talent, to create an album or other portable multimedia, and perform a live street-style urban show. As part of the British Council New Zealand’s Inclusive Cities programme we produced a flagship event for 2009 called People In Your Neighbourhood which launched March 2009.

Planning for the 2010 event is currently underway. PIYN 2010 will involve live shows in Auckland and Wellington May 2010, as well as UK visitors USO and acclaimed street poet and urban creative guru Charlie Dark (Attica Blues, Blacktronica). The event in 2010 will focus on participatory media, live streaming  internet technology and online income generation toolkits for diverse aspiring creatives.
