Syrian Refugee Childrens Summer Camp
|
Our second camp was in collaboration with the Syrian Refugee childrens summer camp and we were invited by Cities for Children to give a workshop to 10-12 year olds. This was a great success and we look forward to repeating this in future.
Here are some comments from our Workshop team Matuesz & Farah;
“The first part of presentation was received extremely well and children were very engaged and tried to guess the names of characters and buildings. They’ve produced some really interesting house designs for their fictional characters adding colour, objects and other details.
Once the final task was finished we asked if there were volunteers to present their work and to my surprise quite a few children were keen to do it! We had 5 presentations in total from a spectrum of ages and I’ve even managed to convince one of the boys who talked very little English to show his work as he did a brilliant design. You could tell that the children were very proud of their work.
I would like to think that the kids really liked it and found it entertaining and interesting.
While I was taking the photos one of the girls approached me and said that she would like to become and architect and asked if I would recommend it. I felt overjoyed and proud and recommend doing a work experience with one of the London firms. We spoke about her drawing which was very good and she said that her father used to be an engineer when they lived in Iraq.”
“We were surprised to see how well they responded to our workshop. For example, one of the boys (10y) who hesitated to draw at first, claiming that he’s not good with drawings (because he’s scared to make mistakes). But after little encouragement, he was able to catch up and towards the end of the lesson, he even volunteered to make the presentation ! They were very appreciative and sweet too. At the end of the class, two of them even came forward and said “thank you” to us both.”

Overview of the Archimake Summer Term Projects Review
|
We were delighted to have Andrew Williamson, illustrator of Harry Potter film sets and many other films including Marvel, join our event and give children feedback. We were also extremely grateful to have Irenee Scalbert, architectural historian and critic join us to give feedback. Both guests gave a wonderful presentation of their own work to the children to inspire them of possible future careers they may be interested in taking.

Archimakers Summer 2022
Georgia had participated throughout the presentation slides and eager to learn a lot about types of design ideas there can be. I applaud her resilience, her actions presented her true inner warrior to work hard no matter what.
