Lockleaze Young People Visit Watershed

Lockleaze Neighbourhood Trust and UNFOLD Community Arts recently attended two workshops at the Watershed.

There were 16 of us and most of the young people are part of the Lockleaze Youth Eco Team. We had such a warm welcome which included a tour and finding out all about the Watershed and what happens there as it was the young peoples’ first visit..

The Make Shift meet up was for young people from in and around Lockleaze and the theme was climate activism. The workshops focused on exploring ways young people can respond to climate concerns creatively and how they can use their voices to campaign and bring about positive change.

We had a lot of fun exploring the space and discovering more about some of the amazing projects created there. The group also worked together to identify strengths and weaknesses in their community, explored what they felt needed action and discussed some of the opportunities to make change.

It was a great opportunity and our thanks to Tony, Steve and Emma and all the staff at the Watershed.
