Life Skills

Last term, in groups of three, we made documentaries about businesses in Peckham.

Our group documented the company Life Skills, a centre that teachers construction work, as well as maths, english and help with getting a job to local teenagers.

Here is the final video:

Consume Peckham

So these past few weeks our whole year group has been working on making documentaries of local businesses in Peckham.

My group accidentally stumbled upon a company called Life Skills which, although is a nationwide company, provides specific training in different areas to teenagers aged 16-18.

Life Skills in Peckham concentrates on construction: all the 60 or so students learn brick laying, plastering, painting and decorating and basic carpentry.

They are also taught maths, english, ICT and employment.

All 16 documentaries will be shown at the Peckham Plex cinema on the 8th December.

There will also be an after party in the Bussey Building.

This is a totally open event so the more the merrier!

Here are the two poster designs the design team produced.
