Summer 2025 - Career Ready Internships

Over the last 4 weeks, we had the pleasure of having Sarah and Carly with us as part of the Career Ready internship programme. Sarah and Carly are both 17 years old and in their final year of high school. Over the internship, Sarah and Carly, each developed an event to take place at the CCA that fit with their interests and beliefs. Carly created an amazing workshop for kids that teaches them all about bugs while Sarah planned a film screening for a horror plan. Both worked on marketing materials, budgets, and risk assessments, ensuring their event will run as smoothly as possible! 

We thank Sarah and Carly for all their hard work!

Seedy Social 

We celebrated spring and seeds at the Glasgow Seed Library's Seedy Social. We got creative while enjoying the sun and warm weather. We made statement badges exclaiming to the world what want, musical instruments out of everyday materials to join in with a seed song and drew seeds for the future.

31/1/25 - Glasgow Life’s Heritage Artists in Communities

Soft City

Young people from across Glasgow secondary schools collaborated with Alice Brown and Ellie Mills. We explored Sauchiehall Street’s retail heritage, cultural uses and the places where people would meet. We began by creating a collective map to record our current impressions of the city. Through Feminist City Thinking, we created city interventions to envision a future safer and more accessible city centre.

17/10/24 - Glasgow Seed Library

Imagining Seed Journeys 

We invited the Glasgow Seed Library to co-deliver a workshop with the S&YP Programme. GSL brought along some beautiful and precious beans for us to look at. With our magnifying glasses and torches we saw all the wonderful textures, colours and shapes. We created watercolours of the beans and then imagined what sort of plants might grow for them. We had dried mango trees, magic bean stalks and a tree fit for cats. We viewed our current exhibition, Jalsaghar, where we thought about the journeys of the goddesses featured in Debi's large tapestry artwork. We discussed how beans travel from one place to another which inspired us to conjure up our own potential journey of the beans.

Storytelling Pots

We imagined our own version of an abundant world and how creatures living their would interact with each other and what their environment would be like. Once we had decided what our dream worlds would look like, we created clay pots that told these stories.
