Raising Attainment

Two programmes of workshops in East Ayrshire, each running over sixteen weeks, engaged with 15 young people, most of whom were looked after and accommodated and were not fully engaged in mainstream education.

Designed to offer participants opportunities to raise their confidence and self-esteem, and in doing so, explore alternative learning methods. The work led to a final showing of the participants work for 70 family, friends and education workers.

"I've learned to speak out more - to introduce myself to folk I don't know - so people get a sense of who I am".
