This Saturday marked the beginnings of the 2008 What Now extravaganza, based at the Plungington Youth and Community Centre in Preston. The day itself was a two parter:
First of all there was the hard part, with workshops that were organised for us to help create What Now services for young people in Lancashire. Activities we participated in were: Web Design, Photography, Graphic Design and Creative Writing, each with the purpose of improving the What Now information service.
Then came the fun part!! With the choice of DJing, Graffiti art, Music Writing and a Dance workshop, you were absolutely spoilt for choice, you’d done the hard work now was the time for the hard play. For all the work we had done, What Now had arranged for these to come in for us as a reward.
The best bits of the day were without a doubt:
Dinnertime – With good food and a great desert this was definitely one of the high points of the day
Photography – Learning how to take a good photo is much harder then it sounds but with a great mentor it was made easy to make a shot composition.
Blog Design – The main focus of this workshop was to design the What Now Blog, with a little help from Daz we redesigned the site you are reading this on.All in all these reporters thought that the day rated about 9 out of 10, it’s only downfall being that it wasn’t longer.
Nina Spot
Throughout the day, Nina was busy rushing about trying to keep the day in order, but nobody could find her! She would appear and disappear, as if by magic. Next year, we should make another workshop called “Where’s Nina?” (A variation on hide and seek).
Though I think we all owe her and the rest of the staff a big round of applause for the hard work that went into this years Consultation day!
