​This part of the project was a series of workshops with young people aged 18-30, facilitated by Kiara Sulivan and Alice Ecklund. Over 5 sessions, we quickly learnt that the young people were all keen writers and liked exploring their writing when music was involved. Each week we brought different pieces of music and different stimuli to introduce to the group and after the second session they decided they wanted to write something about themselves, their feelings and attitudes towards the last 18 months. Then, everyone recorded their words using a phone or a laptop, and we worked with sound designer Dan Lawrence to underscore their writing. The group allowed themselves to be vulnerable, honest and patient- this meaning they could reflect openly on the last 18 months.
