This month, the Whittington Park Community Association (WPCA) Youth Club had the opportunity to engage in a workshop series presented by the 'No More Red' campaign, a joint initiative between Arsenal Football Club and adidas, in association with the Octopus Network. This program aims to directly address youth violence's societal roots, emphasizing positive engagement, skill-building, and providing constructive outlets for self-expression.
Youth Club members took part in a t-shirt design workshop, learning basic design principles and how to create personal t-shirt designs.
During these sessions, the presence of community role models is significant. WPCA Youth Club mentor Jely was selected through No More Red to create a film about his community and the importance of bringing people together through sport. Jely is also a coach at Arsenal in the Community, and passionate filmmaker. See the film here.
