Thoughts on the project so far

Following a few weeks of rehearsals and sharing ideas the young people decided to share their thoughts on the project so far before starting to work with the BBC.

Anthony’s comments

I feel that the project is going well with the exception that it is not having much to do with what we planned to do in the first place (Dancing, singing, rapping, etc).

Everyone is getting on really well and is working as a team.

Chris’ comments

The beginning was a bit weird as expected. I didn’t know who I was going to meet, what they were going to be like so I was a bit weary of everyone as I assume they were of me but after a few sessions I soon found that people were very friendly and we’ve only been getting closer.

As for the project, it’s easy to see everyone is really struggling with it all as there is so little time to put everything together. We’re all trying hard and trying to help and support each other with ideas but it’s all weighing very heavily on us. I guess we all have to carry on smiling through it and see where all our effort gets us.

Terry’s comments

I feel that the course is going well. I think it is a good experience and an enjoyable one. I have become part of this team because it’s really lively and everyone gets involved in the challenges. I feel I will miss everyone when it’s over.

Qadro’s comments

We all work well as a team but sometimes it gets confusing and hard to agree with one option because we all have different ideas. I’m worried that we might not have anything ready when the BBC comes to film the DVD but I think if we work hard we will get it together because we still make one great team.
