The online exhibition for the 2024 National Saturday Club Summer Show
Please visit the visit the online exhibition of the annual Summer Show, showcasing work created by young members of the National Saturday Club, of which London Met is a part.
The exhibition celebrates the ideas, vision and creativity of young people and embraces the breadth, depth and diversity of the National Saturday Club network nationwide.
The Widening Participation Team at London Met runs two National Saturday Clubs for 13- to 16-year-olds, with one club focusing on Art and Design, and the other focusing on Writing and Talking. The club members get the opportunity to learn from London Met academics and students. They are also given a creative space to express themselves, build confidence and connect with other young people with similar interests.
Renzo Veschini, Widening Participation Officer (Art & Design), said: “It is always such a pleasure to work with these talented students each year. We have been constantly blown away by the creativity and imagination the club members have brought to our sessions and the standard of work has been outstanding. It has been a wonderful place to spend a Saturday morning and we are so proud of each and every student we have worked with this year.
Priya Khambhaita, Senior Widening Participation Officer (Writing & Talking) said: "Our Writing& Talking Club is a great place to discover new skills and make long term friends while also experiencing some great courses on offer at London Metropolitan University. We will challenge and grow your love of Writing and Talking practices."
We would like to thank tutors Tory Sanders (Writing & Talking Club), and Jane Linz Roberts and Roisin Dunne, (Art & Design Club) among other guest tutors, for their devotion to the Saturday Club Programmes and the wonderful club members who have attended them.
One club member said: “‘I never really did extracurricular clubs in school, so this has been a great opportunity to look forward to something fun over the weekend.”
