As a response to Covid, we started a zoom group called "Creative Space" led by Karen ,an amazing volunteer,  which evolved into a really enjoyable time for developing fictional characters, haiku poems, and generally having some fun around words and expression. Thanks to Clogaenog Funding through CVSC, we have worked with a local writer, Diane Woodrow, to help take this project further.

 

Many of our young people have coped through a variety of personal experiences - these include isolation, grief, involvement in county lines, transgender and identity issues. Through the medium of creative expression (writing, poetry, art, photographic, music, film  - you name it!!) , we are encouraging our young people to tell their stories, and weave them collectively to create something to share with other young people. 

​

The overall theme is  "We’re pushed to an ultimate goal, but what about our stories?"

​

The project was showcased in Denbigh HWB in March 2022, and has gone out to other groups over Summer. We are working on getting our work collated and designing a pop up gallery , contact sonia@youthshedz.com  for more info.
