This was a day where the Dutch group really felt at home, they all related to the Brixton area and felt very welcomed and happy as soon as we got there
We first went to Brixton Soup Kitchen and spoke about what kin of work happens there and talked about how it was first set up
The stereotypical "hood boys" saw a need for change in their area and wanted to set up something positive to make this change
We then went over to the Black Archives and retrieved a lot of information from there
This day was slightly frustrating because everyone was so excited to be in Brixton and explore, they didn't want to continue with the tour and learn more about how the culture came about
We then went to the adventure playground in Lewisham, which was a bit more relaxed - we got to meet a lot of young people that use the service and they presented to us a little bit about themselves and how the service helped change their life
This was a great end to the programme and everyone got a chance to reflect on the two trips and really re-unite!
