February Holiday Activities Program
This February half-term, Brixton Wings delivered a successful and impactful Winter Holiday Activities Program (HAP), providing young people with engaging, skill-building opportunities in a safe, supportive environment.
A Half-Term Packed with Learning and Fun.
Our February HAP included a variety of enriching sessions aimed at broadening young people’s experiences and equipping them with practical skills:
Music practice and jamming sessions provided an invaluable opportunity for participants to develop both their technical and creative abilities. By working together collaboratively, they were able to come up with fantastic songs that showcased their collective talents and passion for music.
Coding Sessions provides participants with a valuable opportunity to learn essential coding fundamentals, which can significantly open pathways into various digital industries. By engaging in these sessions, participants not only gain technical skills but also develop a deeper understanding of the digital landscape.
