The six week project involved four young people aged 15-17 using disposable cameras to document and interpret a theme of their choice, following the phrase "I wish you knew". The themes they chose were Love, War, Sport and Nature.
The photos have been published in a book, also called ‘I Wish You Knew’, which was launched at the event.
The event also included a first chance to see and hear the resources including an exhibition of the photos, a "behind the scenes" film, and a mini podcast to share some insight to the project and key moments along the way.
The project, which had an overarching theme of communities and migration, facilitated a space that allows young people to get creative, explore their inner thoughts and feel empowered.
Team Ummaya is a lived experience organisation to support young people and adults, especially those seeking sanctuary, to be able to express themselves creatively. They run conversation clubs as well as creative projects across Sheffield.
