S.H.E.D on Air! video transcript

My name is Megan Patrick,
I work at Derby County Community Trust
and across the football club in a really
community based marketing and comms role.
It's been great to welcome S.H.E.D down
today.
It's who knows the how many times we've
worked with them over different projects
over the last few years,
but it's the first time we've welcomed
you to Pride Park on a match day.
So it's really fantastic to welcome the
team down onto the project that we've
both been working collaboratively on the
Saturday Art Club.

So I guess the Saturday Art Club,
it sums up everything that we try to
achieve for young people.
So I've given them a voice,
giving them opportunities and giving them direction
But today is just a really good showcase
to the thousands of people that will be
walking past.

So my name is Jade Murden
I'm a part of the Shed team.
I've been here as we built the Shed this
morning and now I'm getting the
experience of talking to the parents of
the young people who have been using the
Saturday Club,
which is where we're displaying their
work today.

So Civic Lab is a research cluster which
I'm part of.
It's really important part of my role
because it's a time when we work with the
communities within Derby.

So we have the at the centre,
so it's about working with people,
it's about working with the communities
and the young people and trying to gather
people's voices and use that to work
together.

My name is Jasmine Bridge Palsy and I'm
part of the National Saturday Club in
Derby and today I've got my work being
exhibited in the Shed.

Teachers in school talk to us about this
club that's going on for like the first
time in Derby and I,
it sounded really interesting.
So I thought, oh,
I'd like apply and see if I could get
into it.

Today we did some rapping in a recording
studio. It was really fun.
It was actually quite nerve wracking.

My name is Alfred and I'm a part of the
Saturday club.
Saturday club is important to me because
friends and like trying to show what you
love and just meeting everyone and making
all these like poems, protest,
just just having fun and just going next
on Saturday to hang out.
That's that's what that's the main part.

Well,
today we're going to be everyone who's in
the Saturday Club, even my parents,
and everyone else is going to go to the
Derby match and enjoy it.
And I can't wait because we're winning.
We're winning.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah.

I'm Kirsten,
I'm the Saturday club manager.
We have had the Shed open,
we've had all of the children's artwork exhibited
We've had the general public enquiring,
finding out what's been going on,
we've had the music blasting from this
morning and we've enjoyed watching the
football match altogether.
And yeah,
everyone's had a really good time.
Lots of people have experienced a match
for the first time as well.
So it's been a really wonderful
celebration of the hard work that young
people have created and allowing the
parents to look at all their work as well.
And everyone's big,
big beaming smiles all day.
That's that's my big thing.
I think it's just, it's been wonderful.

I'm David Ashman.
I'm the curriculum coordinator for the
creative arts at Littleover Community school.
Well,
I was invited to just see what students
have been doing,
the work that they've been producing for
the Saturday Club.
And yeah,
it's just an exciting opportunity just to
have a look at the work and look at how
they have been addressing and social
justice these issues.
And yeah,
it's just great just to see what they've
been producing.

My name is Ruth Richardson and I am at
Derby County Football Club.
I am a PhD researcher looking at class
and economic inequality.
So I know that economic inequality is an
issue in the UK.
And with my background as a youth worker,
I'm worried about young people in that
and how they might disproportionately be
negatively affected by it.
So within that context,
I think I've come to something like the
Saturday Club fully informed of the
challenges nationally and locally that
young people might face.
So that said,
it's really nice to engage in an activity
that is actually providing opportunities
and resources to young people.

Hi, I'm Doctor Rhiannon Jones,
associate professor of Civic at the
University of Derby.
And I'm really proud because today we've
been able to bring the S.H.E.D,
which is the University spin out company,
to Pride Park Stadium where we've been
showcasing the National Saturday Clubs
artwork.
The other thing that's really important
about this project is the way that it's
connected Shed with the National Saturday
Club,
and we wouldn't be able to do this
without the support of the university and
through its commitment to be in a civic
institution where one of our key goals is
around how we're investing in people and
place through cultural intervention to
create real societal change.

In addition to that,
we have to thank our fantastic partners
Derby County Community Trust,
Derby Theatre,
Art Core and Derby City Council,
and this is a real example of how good
collaboration can make beautiful moments
like today happen for young people in our city
