"Who am I?" a workshop with a Telford youth group
Number of participants: 12
Ethnic backgrounds: Ghanaian-German, Ghanaian-Dutch 
Age range: 7-13
The young people produced images to represent who they are, where they are from and where they see themselves in the future. The workshop aimed to encourage participants to think about the factors that influence their self-perception and choices in life. Many of the participants were born in Ghana and in other areas of the European Union before settling in the UK.

The art work shows him holding a globe in his hands to represent his global travel; the flower and the heart represent his passion for nature and his "big heart".
