Community Projects Pilmeny Podcast Diaries The Leith Walk ward and Lorne community can boast many colourful characters. No doubt all will have a story to tell? The Pilmeny Youth Centre has established a new and unique project that will bring you a series of Podcasts that will give our local characters an opportunity to be interviewed and give a little insight into their personal history. The children of the Pilmeny Youth Centre Out of School Sports Clubs hope to record some interesting and fascinating interviews that will remain a historical time capsule of local people's lives, their memories, and life in Leith. It's hoped the Podcast diaries will touch on a variety of aspects that touch the life of all Leither's. "Love Leith.....Love Leithers"
P-KAD (Pilmeny Kick About Day) Fridays P-KAD (Pilmeny Kick About Day) was a pre-cursor to our proposed Winter P-KAN (Pilmeny Kick About Nights) commencing in October 2013. The plan is to bring floodlit "door-step sports" to local children during the dark evenings and Friday's "taster day" allowed the youth centre an opportunity to assess the practicalities of the P-KAN proposal. The two hour session had 20 children aged 8 to 13, enjoying an organised activity. Several short discussions took place during the event between children and staff to record their thoughts and a formal questionnaire was presented to children in order to give them a platform to have a vital say in the P-KAN project and its 26 week programme. Feedback was as expected, very very positive. The youth centre and local partner groups will now work towards securing core costs to take P-KAN a step closer to its provisional October 2013 start date. Our thanks to 3v2 Soccer Academy, Inspiring Leith, Redpath Albion/Pilmeny Sports Club and Pilmeny Development Project for all contributing to a marvellous afternoon.
Easter Artz 2013 With thanks to funding from the Dr. Guthrie Association, PYC were able to provide a three day arts project during the Easter break in order to update two of the art installations affixed to the hall partitions. The project was facilitated by local artist Kirstie Hustler and was open to the very creative members of our Junior Sports Club. With two boards to design the children were given complete control of one board and were asked to sketch out their ideas and discuss themes, colours etc. The finished project was a fantastic depiction of all of their favourite activities they do at the sports club, with a brightly coloured variation of the saltire in the background. For the second board Kirstie created a funky QR code (Quick Response Code) which, when scanned using the camera of a smartphone, will direct the user to the PYC website. Children were involved in painting and testing out the code as well as trying out their own QR codes. The week was a great success with the children impressing all staff involved; their patience, maturity and creativity goes to show the importance of giving children their say and supporting their ideas.
