Last week, we partnered with Media Mania, a not-for-profit music organisation based at the Daimler Powerhouse that empowers and upskills young people in Coventry. With the expert guidance of Media Mania’s founder, producer and engineer Dave, lyricist Kimberley, and sound engineer Grace, our young people created a beat from scratch, wrote lyrics inspired by Coventry, and recorded their very own track titled Sky Blue! They even designed the cover art for their song, which you can see below.
At WATCH, the group learned how to operate a radio studio and introduce tracks on air, including their own recordings. They also kept active with sports and took part in a competitive game of nutritional bingo! Thanks to caterer Nor, we enjoyed delicious hot meals and desserts each day to keep us fuelled.
To round off the week, we took 87 local children to Skegness for our annual seaside trip, a brilliant day out made even better by the sunshine!
A huge thank you to HAF! We hope to be back delivering activities again very soon!
