Programs and Activities

THE ART STUDIO Iain has been cooking up a storm on Wednesday with the guys, making homemade pizzas to set the seen for the Pizza Oven Mosaics. Pizza’s are been made from scratch using a proper yeast based doe and the youth choosing and preparing their own topping. The art sessions are still progressing for the pizza oven. Can’t wait

YOUTH CENTRE PROGRAM Once again Youth Staff have been amazing at cooking up a storm with the youth. Many handy skills and “mum food” knowledge being shared .So hopefully we will have some well prepared young adults going out into the big wide world. Resources have been well used with regular games of pool and ping pong on the agenda.

There are still a few issues with older users drinking and smoking at the park. Police have been attendance helping us keep it all under control. I think all users are aware now of the laws associated with public spaces.

Skate and share

The Denmark Youth Centre held 3 Skate workshops on 3 consecutive Saturdays. 18th the 25th of March and 1st of April it was a huge success with over 100 attending. It was run By Skate and Share, Glenn Rowley and Ceara Caton. They are dedicated to helping kids and community host successful events that strengthen the skate community and relationships between town councils and residents. They teach about park safety, awareness and risk management, they build skills and encourage community participation and teambuilding. They educate about respect for one another and for the park.

Glenn Rowley Told the kids “you have a great facility, it’s an amazing park in an amazing spot. Respect your facility by not throwing garbage off to the side; taking the extra 5 to 10 seconds to clean up after ourselves, respect your facility, it makes a huge difference. It makes everyone look at your skate park with a big smile on their faces and makes you guys look better and its better for the environment.”

They included a Yoga session for strength, flexibility and balance of both the body and mind, which helps facilitate a more fluid relationship with abilities.

Skateboarding is all about respect and mateship Glen Rowley told them that he wanted to see “lots of support, lots of high fives, lots of pats on the back, everyone is trying learn it’s all about respect.” it promotes both physical health and a good attitude.

It teaches the youth good life lessons and gives them a voice and freedom through this physical art form.

Skateboarding really has the power to change lives.
