FOCV Youth Taster Sesslon (2025)
We deliVe￿d this FOCV taster session for young people below the age of 18 at ESEA Community Centre in Hackney. to test
out interest and in preparation for our subseouent 4 youth programmes being delivered with Lightbulb Trust Funding in
2025. A total of 10 people signed up between ESEA Community Centre and Kakilang, with 4 people attending, aged
between 11 to 20. We suspect that the free nature of the workshop tnay have resulted in a higher dropout rate, as some
participants Felt less obligated to atiend.
Despite the low turnout, the session was successful and rewarding. The participants were engaged, supportive of one
another, and eager to try new activities. They asked many thoughtful questions and inteTrcted well with the workshop
leaders.
