YOUTH ASSOCIATIONS
VENUS HOUSE - MERSEYTRAVEL
Itchy-Feet have over twenty years experience working with Liverpool
Youth Service, MYA, Faith groups and other youth organisations.
During that time, we have produced substantial pieces of art with hundreds of young people in the majority of Liverpool’s youth clubs and centres.
We also regularly provide craft workshops during the school holidays as part of the summer splash programme.
Working with junior and senior youth club members, we have facilitated projects with wide ranging themes such as, anti bullying, anti racism, healthy eating and the environment.
Over the last few years we have worked with ‘Aim to Achieve’, who provide alternative educational activities for young people not in main stream education. As part of this work, we have facilitated mosaic projects, which are accredited and assessed over the duration of the project.
As part of these projects, young people work on individual, personalised artworks that they can then take home. They can also take part on large communal mosaics which are then installed in each youth centre.
During the course of the projects, young people are taught the skills of mosaicing. This has proved to be a very successful vehicle for improving their social skills and confidence within a relaxed, yet focussed environment.
