Through conversations and discussions with Marianne I got the chance to go and help out at the Kids Zine Workshop at Ante Bookfair. I was really nervous as I have never worked with kids in this sort of environment before and I am keen to gain more experience with working with people through creative activities. As I am interested in zine and book making this seemed like a perfect oppurtunity.
The kids seemed to be really engaged with creating stories in the zine format. They has the best imaginations. I feel I engaged with the kids and as the day went on my confidence grew. They seemed to really respond to me and I feel them and myself both got a lot out of the day. I left feeling excited about the whole experience and would like to do it again!
It was really good to go along as I am beginning to develop understanding and skills in the crossovers between practice and working with different groups of people. There are many opportunities there are out there to work with different people in through creative activities.
