Origami at the Bangladeshi Youth Forum

There was a really great atmosphere at BYF, all the groups were interested in taking part in our activities, that included making origami frogs and flowers, taking photographic portraits and signing their names is sign language. We got people using and thinking about their hands by getting them making things. As well as photographing the other activities that they get up to at BYF.


We managed to get to talk to the groups about their hopes for their own futures and for the future of Lozells and the areas they live in. They came up with some really honest and thought provoking responses.



Getting to meet the guys at BYF has given us a chance to learn more about the community at Lozells and East Handsworth. The more times we visit the area and the more time we spend there the more comfortable we get. We have learnt that although we were told that the communities don’t mix, these young people mix between areas all the time. Proving that there is a lot of misconception in the area.
