Art Programme Syria / Iraq

The SCOOP Art Programme began in November 2018 to give the young people of BK2 a chance to learn new skills, express themselves and to break the monotony of camp life. Calvin and acclaimed artist and filmmaker Shane Sutton travelled to Bajed Kandala Camp to teach young people life drawing, painting, street art and various art skills. This programme is available to young people aged 8-18 allowing them unlimited access to paints, pencils, canvases, paper and all the necessary tools along with online support.

In 2019 Calvin took 20 canvases and hundreds of sketches back to Ireland to be exhibited throughout the country in 2020.
