‘We were offered the chance to take part in Barod’s Mike Parry art award to represent Gwent N-gage Youth Ambassadors. The theme of the art piece was solidarity which we expressed by using the whole team to represent one piece of art work. We represented the positive and negative thoughts that people struggle with in their day to day lives. Throughout our team work we communicated with each other to express our ideas and put our own experiences into the art work to make it more personal. We were pleased to find out that we won the group category and will be using our prize of £100 towards a day out’.
