Suffrage youth session week 11 Yesterday was the last ever project session at the youth centre. In this session we were delighted to have finished the mosaic with the young people! During the session we put the finishing touches to the smaller sections, filled in the gaps in the tiles and started to fit everything together. A new tile with the royal Holloway logo was placed at the top, and we began the task of arranging all the panels that the young people had been working on - this was a fun yet tough job because we had to balance out all the different colours and designs to make the mosaic look coordinated. And finally, we got to see the special background tiles which were printed with the black and white designs that the young people picked out in session 7. Now, all that's left to do is for our mosaic artist, Kim, to add the background tiles, put the panels together, and mount the mosaic. It was a really fun evening as usual but i was also aware that this was the last time that i'd be working with our bright and lovely youth groups. Everyone took the time to reflect on the project at the end of the session. It was clear that the young people that we worked with had really enjoyed and profited from the project. I hope that we have inspired the young people to be more confident and stand up for themselves and others, as well as sparked an interest for the movement. Our young people, volunteers and youth leaders have learned some great mosaic making skills too! For me and the volunteers it has been a pleasure working with the two youth groups, their leaders and Kim! A massive thanks to everyone for making this project possible! And congratulations to all who participated! 🎉 Erin Trenchard - Team member |
