Connecting with the Youth of Carmarthenshire
This autumn we started work with a number of departments in Carmarthenshire Council Youth Services.
A group of year 9/10 pupils on the S.M.A.R.T. project (a wider curriculum programme for those not in formal education) spent six mornings in our new craft workshop making a mosaic topped table for their base at Dr MZ and a bird table for a local residential home.
‘
Youth First’ (a European Social Fund Programme to extend entitlement to young people aged 11-25) also brought a group who wanted to make something for the community. In a brainstorming session they decided to make brightly coloured tissue/willow sculptures for the sensory room in the unit at their school, (Queen Elizabeth High) and a bird table to put outside the window.
