GEECS delivered a special workshop on animation in Llandysul for the Pont Tyweli Silver Surfers last week. It was a fun afternoon, and the group were wonderful to work with.
The workshop itself was rather special for a number of reasons, which variously include:
Minister's visit
The Minister for Social Justice Carl Sargeant visited during the session, providing a great opportunity to showcase the invaluable digital inclusion work that GEECS and the Communities 2.0 project is carrying out.
Animation is go!
This session was the first time that GEECS had delivered this newly developed workshop. I felt that the workshop was a success with the class producing some lovely one sentence story films using newspaper clippings to form the stories - we'll upload some of these for you shortly!
Harri-Solo
This workshop was my first without my compadre Mogs who was on annual leave, though that said Karlis (Communities 2.0) and Chris (CCC) were on hand providing invaluable help with the set-up and support during the session - thanks guys!
Setting
Workshop venues vary so much from job to job, and the venue for this workshop was quite special. The session took place in the newly refurbished Powerhouse Community Centre in Llandysul; the building is a fantastic community facility for arts and lifelong learning projects nestled on the edge of the river Teifi - it was a pleasure to work there and meet the staff.
