S1E6 - Lesley Cherry – The Trailblazers programme
Lesley Cherry returns in this episode to discuss WheelWorks Art’s Trailblazers programme with Tom Thorpe. This initiative focuses on developing cultural understanding through digital arts, specifically filmmaking and animation. The programme emphasizes themes of good relations and kindness within the creative process. Young people involved in Trailblazers have the opportunity to bring their imaginative ideas to life through animation and filmmaking, all while learning essential skills in teamwork, literacy, and leadership. Lesley, an artist, facilitator, and experienced socially engaged artist and project manager, provides insights into the program's objectives, challenges, and outcomes. The Trailblazers programme seeks to foster creativity, cultural understanding, and a sense of community among its participants.
