Empowering Youth Art Jamming Workshop with Manchester Worldwide (South East Asia)

December 8, 2018

Art For Good led a group of youths in an exciting Art Jam session, organized by Manchester Worldwide (South East Asia) as part of its annual CSR outreach programme. The event was aimed to empower youth and saw two alumni of the university, Andrea Abatte and Willard Ng, sharing their different journeys toward fulfilling their dreams. The message to the youths was to “Follow Your Dreams”. What ensued next was great fun between the youth and alumni of the University, who formed pairs to co-create unique pieces of artwork aimed at expressing their dreams.

Through our online shop, we invited the alumni and the public to EMPOWER A YOUTH today through our charity sales. Each artwork is priced at $100 (except for the 3 most popular art pieces priced at $120 each) and the total proceeds of all artworks sold would be donated to the Youth from the Expedition Agape (EA) programme. The Expedition Agape (EA) is a programme by the Lakeside Family Services that transforms and empowers the lives of teenagers through intentional mentoring by adult volunteers and a structured programme over a period of 6 months to develop the participants as “Leaders in Action”. More info can be found at www.expeditionagape.org.

Each artwork sold will fund the programme and educational materials for ONE youth participant of the Expedition Agape for 2 sessions (or over 2 weeks).
