Whas guanin..

Where are we now?

Well, at the moment we're recruiting workshop facilitators to run our eight week workshops in journalism, photography and graphic design.

So far so good.. we have Toby Renton and Alex Breeden running the graphic design. Toby has done a lot of work running workshops at PRU schools in film production, aerosolic art (this means graff i think) and drawing practice and has worked on research campaigns for Westminster University and more recently an Anti-knife campaign for Forsters charity. Alex worked until very recently for the Independent on Sunday, has a lot of professional experience and loads of contacts within the industry.

Phil Clarke Hill (www.philclarkehill.com) is managing the Sed*8 school side of things and co-running the project and also facilitating our photography workshops with Emily Graham. Emily works for Skyway which is a charity that supports young people from 8 to 25 in Hackney. She has run workshops with Skyway in photography and is also an experienced photographer working in fashion and documentary photography.

On the journalism side we have Luiza Sauma who also worked at the Independent on Sunday and is now a freelance journalist. We are still recruiting for the second position on the journalism facilitators team and are looking for someone with a good bit of experience in working with young people and running creative workshops.
