Winning entrant Submitted by: Leon Spence

Summary

My design is a project that gives individuals an opportunity to be creative in a positive way rather than portraying a negative message which brings fear and anti social behaviour within community. The first part will be a planning workshop, where young people can share their ideas and talk about what designs could potentially change someone’s life. The other part will be the practical side, where young people will create there ideas using a computer, T-shirts, bags and hats and a t-shirt, bags and hat machine.

Dear Leon, It is a wonderful idea, I have being planning a similar project also based on how young people can meet and share their experience or developed their talent with the help of the facilities in the centre (future) they can explore their creative. I am planning to set this project in Africa but still in the making as I am currently studing at UEL. Any way good luck with yours - all the best.

good ideas ive notice that you are one of the only people that you like to put on an activity for 9-19yrs old . so if you have brothers and sisters they could join in with the workshop also

22-Oct-2009 3.41PM   rissa Says...

leon good idea, but also you could do design your own pumps as alot of the y/ps (girls age 11-15 are into simple plain pumps, primemark) and with that they can design their own as the canvass is ok to do that with. The hat machine is really good idea as thats what the yps r in2.
