Turns out construction skills do translate to paper mâché. 😉
A bit of mess, a bit of laughter, and a whole lot of teamwork. 🏗️👏🏻

🚧 Great progress today for this cohort! 🚧
The team put up a partition for our home mock-up, marking a major first step in the build 🧱🔨. By the end of the project, the structure will have working plumbing and electricity — a fantastic opportunity for everyone to develop real multi-skill experience.

Some of the group also honed their painting skills by giving the workshop doors a fresh new coat.

Proud of the effort, growth, and teamwork today! 👷🏻‍♀️👷🏼‍♂️

Today’s session was all about goal mapping and learning practical ways to let go of the anxieties that hold us back. 💭✨ It was amazing to see the cohort open up, reflect on what really matters to them, and set meaningful goals for their future. We talked about how our fears and worries can feel heavy, but when we learn to acknowledge them and release them, we create space for purpose, passion and perseverance 🌱

By the end of the lesson, everyone had a personal action plan, a clearer vision of where they want to go, and most importantly, the belief that they have the power to get there. 🌟 Watching them take those first steps toward reaching their full potential was inspiring — these are skills they can carry with them far beyond the classroom. 💪

Today’s Project: Building Birdhouses & Feeders! 🐦

Today some of our cohort got creative and hands-on by building a birdhouse and bird feeders — all using reclaimed materials! ♻️✨

It was an amazing way to combine teamwork, problem-solving, and sustainability 🪺🌱
