Following the ten-week programme, the young people began to shape, pick and choose further opportunities to stay creatively involved in. This enabled them to continue developing their skills in something they enjoyed and in a familiar environment with other young people.
Take a look below at what Cohort 1 achieved:
ICE Heritage Exhibitions (co-created by the young people, from discussing how their work will be best displayed to installing their work in the exhibition space)
