Positive Futures :: Video…

At the end of last year we ran film workshop sessions at 5 Locations around Lincolnshire. Working with the children and young people at Positive Futures sessions, with the aim being for them to produce their own video which would play like a short trailer, showing the activities they all enjoyed participating in. Here are some of the finished films…

This is the board painted by the young people attending this years Fairplay football event at Lincoln City ground in April, great day, thanks to the Positive Futures guys for putting it all together. Here’s what Dave, head of PF has to say about our work…

“We have worked with Imageskool for the last 4 years. In that time they have supported a variety of Positive Futures events and sessions around Lincolnshire. James has a great rapport with young people even some of our most challenging. We have always found the organisation friendly, flexible and professional. The quality of the work is of a high standard and I would have no hesitation in recommending this organisation”. David Sampher, Sports Development Manager, Children’s Services…

soundlincs
Working along side SoundLINCS who provide music activities for young people, I have been running various graffiti taster sessions across Lincolnshire, this is just some of the artwork produced by the young people. More yet again on our Facebook…

Quote from one of the young people…

“Had a great experience today spray-painting. Everyone enjoyed it and it makes you realise how much harder it is than just on paper. Hope we get a chance to do this again! “…

And from Gemma one of the staff..

“For myself it was the one activity that i have witnessed all the young people getting involved with and keeping their attention for the whole two hours which was amazing to see. They all appeared to get so much out of it and really enjoyed it so i hope you will be returning again.
The young people also wanted to say that they really enjoyed it and thought that you were really nice and talkative which is better than some people who have been before that are really shy and hard to talk too. They said that they have never done graffiti before but really want to do it again now you have been as all of them were really proud of their pieces and didnt realise they had it in them, they said they had all gained alot from the experience and hoped you would be coming again.

Thanks James for a truly enjoyable day, i would recommend james to anyone!!”…
