We wanted to look back and reflect on the impact we have made on young people over the last few months. So here are a sample of statistics we’ve gathered together:
50 Virtual Sessions
This last year, we’ve had to deal with running after-school sessions in a lockdown. Whilst this has been a journey in itself, we’ve proudly managed to deliver 50 virtual sessions to young people in the area to get them engaged with arts, technology and social action.
45 Young People in our Weekly Sessions
We are always blown away by the young people that come to our sessions on a weekly basis and it is incredible to see the progress they make throughout the months (and more) that they spend with us.
Young People, like Manu, have been attending sessions for much longer than just one term and we hope to be a part of their lives as they grow even further.
Since we reopened our doors, we’ve seen 45 young people coming through our doors on a weekly basis.
20 Videos Produced for Clients
The last four months has seen the Eight Creative Agency create 20 different videos for clients. That means over twenty established and emerging creatives being paid to work on exciting, paid projects in the Bristol area.
The most recent projects that Eight have produced have been with the South West Creative Technology Network, where they were capturing stories of data prototype projects.
20 One-to-One Support Sessions
One of the services we provide to young people is one-to-support sessions to help guide them on b0th a personal and professional level.
The last few months, we’ve been able to offer twenty of those sessions to young people in the Bristol area.
16 KWMC Staff in Coaching Training
Part of what makes the Knowle West Media Centre amazing is our approach to coaching (a learning process which aims to grow individuals awareness, responsibility and choice) and over recent months, we currently have 16 staff at Knowle West Media Centre in coaching training.
This means that our staff will be more equipped to listen, adopt a growth mindset and raise their aspirations which is a fantastic tool when working with young people.
15 Young People in Half-Term Sessions
This February half-term, we ran the ‘Young People Can Make’ programme for 15 young people in the area.
Over the week, this was a chance to engage young people with design projects and prototypes that helped tackle social action issues like racism and climate change.
14 Young People Kickstarting their Arts Award
14 young people have made the exciting step to kick off their arts award. The award is a nationally recognised qualification enabling the young people to progress into further education and employment.
We cannot wait to see how the journeys to get their Bronze Arts Award progress and what they will learn.
12 Creatives Supported
As part of Eight, we have managed to get 12 emerging creatives paid work to support them in the creative industries.
For examples, our recent project with Filwood Fantastic involved the two amazing creatives: Monica Tuffs and Keira Needham.
Check in with us later in 2021 for our next impact report.
