We are a group of young people that participate in interactive creative media workshops led by experts in the field. We formed in 2011 as a group of Restless Development volunteers eager to develop our creative media skills and now meet up in London on a number of Saturdays throughout the year for a free, fun filled day of creativity- keep an eye out for up and coming dates.

Every day in Zimbabwe, 400 people die of AIDS-related diseases, creating a growing population of orphans and vulnerable children who are either raised by relatives or forced to fend for themselves. People with HIV face a near 100% unemployment rate, while orphans and vulnerable children often can’t afford to go to school. An estimated 1.7 million people are facing hunger, and poor nutrition means that anti-retroviral treatment for HIV often fails. There is widespread stigma and discrimination and a lack of access to services for people with HIV. Livelihoods interventions for these groups are often ineffective, uncoordinated and unsustainable.

‘Young people dare. Some are inspired by career opportunities, some by an unquenchable thirst for change. Others dare for the mere desire to pursue a life out of the ordinary. Young people thrive on innovative ideas, growth and development. They look for opportunities, adapt easily and are committed to fulfilling their dreams.’
