Whether it's stewarding at a festival, writing for a magazine, or producing works of art, volunteering for creative projects is bound to get those juices flowing.

Making the cut...

We started working on the editing process – first watching the rushes and doing a paper edit, which involves writing down which parts you want to include. We then moved onto the actual edit, teaching the young people how to use the editing program on the computer. One group edited the film and the other edited the ‘behind the scenes’. We also had to film the different manifesto points. The one related to ‘allowing music on buses’ involved Anna and some of the young people jumping onto a bus and playing their music on the top deck. One of the young people who ‘wanted his voice to be heard’ had to shout this in the Sainsbury’s car park – who says filming is glamorous?! Though definitely one of the funniest moments was when we were going to film at the chicken shop. One of the manifesto points was ‘More choice in school canteens’. As the food of choice was fried chicken we were filming in a takeaway. There sitting in the takeaway happily munching away was one of our students skiving from the session! He was definitely shocked to see us but had great attendance after that.
