Comments from the online surveys:

They made me feel creative and I had fun and I normally don’t like drawing very much and I don’t normally get creative at school or home
 
I enjoyed them because they introduced me to a new category of art and it took me a long time and perfected my view of art.

I enjoyed them because it’s my first time doing them.

It was really exciting doing new things, like doing things with clay etc.

Because they were really fun.
​
I will miss you guys very much! 
 
I liked to work in a team and really appreciate your support!

Young peoples' feedback (online surveys)

Some of these are new things I have never done; my goal is to have lots of cool art on a corner of my room

They were really interesting and funny to do at the same time

Because I like designing and painting but especially graphic design
 
I was bored at home and when I came here, I felt more inspired, and I met lots of new friends I really enjoyed it here
 
I liked learning the sign language because it was interesting, and I learnt something new that schoolteachers don’t teach. 

I enjoyed them all because I learned lots and my creativity has improved.

• I really enjoyed doing all the activities, I really hope I’ll come next year as well!

• All the staff were extremely amazing and made you feel like you’d known them forever. Thanks for an amazing time."
