At the Digital Dreams showcase at the end of June, which took place at Manchester Art Gallery, visitors had this to say:
“Joyful…(young people who come to CAN) feel welcome and feel safe.”
Raj, CAN trustee and former youth worker
“I learned drawing. When I came here (to the UK), I didn’t do drawing as we didn’t go to school…I learned how to communicate with different people; my English wasn’t very good when I arrived, and this has helped me. I have good memories with my friends”.
Huda – a young person
“We did the tour…we talked about a piece of art…something I’d never do and there were lots of different points of view…inspirational.”
