Pickney International Creative Youth Club now in the OAaSIS

The Pickney International Creative Youth Club (PIcyc), by the OAaSIS International team is finally accepting applications for membership.

The PIcyc began after many requests were received to introduce the creative workshop series in more locations across the island, and one US location is also sending request. The founder also said that the demand is growing for ongoing presence at locations already visited.

“The creative workshop series are designed to sensitise youth on locations across Jamaica on the arts, and the club “keeps them exposed, empowered, trained, informed, guided” says founder Anthea McGibbon.

To put all projects of the entity into perspective, and considering that all members/volunteers do so within their time budget, the PIcyc is created to establish for continuum in engendering the arts in education without replacing any teacher or exisiting institution.

The club continues to emphasise total arts and creative skills for development – literary, visual, culinary, performing especially through activity sheets. Successful candidates at each level of the courses will receive a certificate.
