Oldham based youth arts Charity, Peshkar were delighted to welcome Tony Lloyd, Greater Manchester interim Mayor and Police Crime Commissioner, as the guest of honour at a special event marking culmination of their year long Heritage Lottery funded ‘Our Teenage Years’ project in Oldham and Burnley.
Mr Lloyd, who was shown round the exhibition by Peshkar trustees before presenting participants with arts awards gained during the project said “Peshkar’s work, arts and creativity is helping to make the world a better place.” He congratulated the team on the quality of the engagment and it’s outcomes before adding “young people are not just our future, they are part of our present.”
An exhibition of this intergenerational project which examined teenage culture over the past fifty years by getting young people to interview older people in their community, has already been seen by over four thousand people at Manchester’s People’s History Museum. It will now travel to Waterhead Academy in Oldham then Burnley Library before making a final stop at the Houses Of Parliament where Peshkar will be the guests of Oldham MP, Debbie Abrahams.
