Sophie learnt about the history of collage. She then had difficulty overcoming her inner selfish artiste when she worked with a group on a piece about risk. The workshop brought together lots of groups using art techniques to respond HIV and AIDS amongst young people, a fabulous example being Dylan, who you just might get a glipse of if you're lucky and nice in a film we're going to put on the website .

Ruth went to a misleadingly named session on effective writing for media, which just turned into a really impressive discussion about the power of language, but also helped her technophobic self find some friends who'll help with all the digital treats that we have in store for you.

In the breaks we found a lovely bloke from Chicago. He made Sophie go tingly with his stories of the exhibitions he's put on with a group called Project Focus . Now we'd really like to adapt some of their techniques for the Winter Festival that our shiny Unicef groups are planning to hopefully happen on World AIDS Day 2009.

To top the day off we successfully managed to buy a pint bottle of diet coke (AMAZING).

Now we have a fabulous night in store of photo logging (oh my life if we come home with no eyes left don't say we didn't warn you) and interview planning. Woop.
