Bouncing in 4D and following your Destiny

For this newsletter, I’d like to share two of our Karten funded projects. 
 
The first of these is our interactive 4D suite. This was a space funded by the Karten Charitable Trust many years ago, and it is still having impact for so many young adults today.  

Two young women smile at each other while lying on a padded surface in a sensory 4D suite, with autumnal forest projections creating an immersive background.


Our post-16 Learning Centre students use the 4D immersive suite as part of their rebound sessions. We set the trampoline up in the Karten-funded suite three afternoons a week for rebound therapy sessions, so that the young people can enjoy their physiotherapy programmes in an engaging and relaxing environment.

The young people love their sessions in this environment, and the projections allow us to create wonderful environments which follow the themes explored throughout the year, such as pride events, VE Day and many more. This means that all the young people engage with their rebound therapy programmes, meet their aims, and having lots of fun.

The second project is our media production enterprise, Destiny. In July, two of our students left the organisation and were offered employment or further training.

Waj is now working as a level 3 apprentice for Everyone Learning, supporting their training and development programmes, whilst Max is undertaking a supported internship with DISC, a digital college in the heart of Manchester.

We are really proud of both of these students who have graduated from the New Bridge Group and have bright futures ahead of them!

We are also really excited to welcome our new cohort, who are just getting started with the enterprise, Destiny, and are starting to develop their skills in videography, photography and print production.
