Today, we all met up at Yourspace at 10:30am and stood around waiting for everyone else to come…
When everyone came, we all went to Sage’s house to get some chairs for our space, because today was the day we were getting things for it.. We had 2 cars, so when we picked up the two couches from Sage’s house we dropped it off to Yourspace and took off for the dump…
Once we got to the dump, we all got out of the car and went searching for things we might use for the youth centre. We found wires, a no smoking sign, a few tables, a speaker, lockers, a bathtub and lots more stuff that we could use…
When we got back to the youth centre, we unloaded the cars and put the things into our place, and once everything was in we talked about where to put the stuff, and what we should do for a fundraiser, we decided to go for a movie night with a sleepover: Maximum 35 kids…
After that around 2 o’clock we went to get some lunch, when we were out we saw Giuseppe and Erica, so we brought them back with us…
Once we finished lunch, we went back to the youth centre and had DJ lessons, taught by Morgan… The rest of the day was just pretty chill, with all the music playing and the DJ-ing happening…
At the end of the day, we built a sculpture out of wires and did some hotseats in the sky..

Currently the youth of Newman have no space to gather, work and play together. We are lobbying for a permanent space in town and have developed a business plan to show that we know how to run it.

Ideas

// October 7th, 2009 // 1 Comment » // Our Say

We’ve got a zillion ideas for what we would do in a youth space- here is just a few of them: Skittles (set up bowling) Jam Sessions Cinema Chill Zone and lots of other fun things but if you have some ideas for what we can do in our space, post them here!

We’re getting together a big list and will post it up soon!

The past few days..

// October 7th, 2009 // No Comments » // Blog

On Monday, we sat in one of the tafe classrooms talking about things we knew, and things we wanted to know.. Then we watched a video of some kids in NSW (New South Wales) and we talked about how they looked, and what kind of lifestyle they could live.. After, we all got a video device, then we went walking to capture 10 seconds of video, of what we think Newman is.. Once we all got our footage, we walked over to the old funiture store here (or wheelies). When we got there, we looked around the place, got a partner and showed them 3 places we thought was good for something.. Then when we finished we all sat down and brainstormed what we could do with the massive space.. When we were done there, we had some lunch, then headed back to the tafe.. Once we were in, we talked about who was doing what, then got to it.. We set up a website and decided to call our place, Yourspace!

On Tuesday, we went to the tafe in the morning and continued doing what we did on Monday… Then we made a twitter and a facebook for Yourspace, but facebook, twitter, myspace and other things were blocked at the tafe, so we grabbed some lunch, ate it, then went to Lee’s house.. When we got to Lee’s house, we tried facebook there and once we got on, we suggested to everyone in Newman to become fans..

And Today, we are putting more stuff up on the website, and making videos for Yourspace…
