After successfully completing an accredited programme of challenges
young volunteers receive an ‘Expressive Arts’ certificate recognised
by the national award body ASDAN. The programme is broken down into five
sections: exploration, creation, presentation, working in the media and appreciation.
It offers young people an excellent opportunity to develop key skills in
improving their own learning, working with others, problem solving, communication,
application of numbers, information technology and positive contribution.
During the year Exposure introduced a further accredited programme, ‘Introduction
to Youth Media’, recognised by AQA, another national award body, to
widen the choice of recognised structured learning opportunities available
to young volunteers.
Exposure’s accreditation activities have been funded by a Local Area Agreement with Haringey Council. It is hoped that further such funding will be secured to continue the work in the future.
Targets
Exposure has been set the following best value performance indicator
targets, as defined by the Department of Education and Skills, by Haringey
Youth Service for the period ending 31 March 2008:
- Young people in contact with Exposure: 200
- Young people participating in Exposure's activities: 180
- Young people gaining a recorded outcome at Exposure: 150

I've had loads of opportunities, articles, videos etc. I feel that it's a really beneficial place to just hang out, even without doing anything specific except have intellectual conversation. I can't talk about those kinds of things with friends or at home. I've picked up knowledge subliminally.
