"[I learned] that there is no point in being shy because it's just fun and I am not shy anymore."

"Overall workshops were great fun, young people really enjoyed them and it was very unfortunate we could not participate in the Festival due to prior commitments."

Kirsty Williamson , South Camlachie Youth Project (Festival Project)

"I enjoyed watching the play and then watching the children change each scene. I enjoyed the fact there were discussions after each scene had been changed to show the positive outcome. [The] children were so engaged with the issues as it was participatory, fun and exciting."

Linda Bowie , (teacher at Eastbank Academy), It's Jist for Protection Project

"It was really funny and it opens your eyes about the dangers about carrying knives. I feel carrying knives is really dangerous."

Nicola Haig (10) , Parkhead Children's Theatre

S2 pupil , Bannerman High School, It's Jist for protection Project

"I really enjoyed the workshop because it told us what could happen if we carried knives and also because we could think of things that were wrong and could improve upon."

S2 pupil , Bannerman High School, It's Jist for protection Project

"I really liked the play. It was really funny and good to watch. The best bit I liked was when people got to go up and act and change the play."
