 Words of the Boys Training Centre, BTC, coupled with students of the new beginnings transit home, have embraced the creative art of mural painting, following hands-on training from artists affiliated with the French embassy in St. Lucia. This round the taking was rolled out from November to December 2022 with the intention of helping to forge a calm, peaceful and positive atmosphere for participants from the collaborative agencies. The mural is located along a section of the Julian Arhant Highway in Marysield opposite courts. Extremely satisfied with the outcome is the manager of the Boys Training Centre, Wang Son Son, who emphasized the significance of the mural art venture in building in BTC wards a sense of ownership and pride. We saw this as a fitting initiative as it would beautify the community and we wanted the boys to be part of an activity that would give back to the community. I'm sure that everyone will see that this mural really uplifted the aesthetics of the place and the boys themselves gained a lot from the experience and they have a sense of ownership. So it showed them that instead of using art to, in most cases, in some cases, deface the environment. They can use it to uplift the environment. Manager of the Boys Training Centre, Wang Son Son. Through public art, the hope is that teen artists will acquire the skills, interest and determination to become leaders in their homes, school and community. In addition, a recent hypothesis from a re-owned United States based mural artist suggests that being exposed to images of nature have a rejuvenating impact on one's mental health. If it's English, it's the manager of the new beginnings transit home. It was a very interesting project because it provided our young folks, our children with the skills, the relevant skills in doing the different art forms and we were able to, along with the Boys Training Centre, come together and to do this very beautiful mural which is an open view to the public in the Maricel area. Inglises of the view that having students create mural designs on people and bringing them to fruition along with sharing their stories of overcoming obstacles can build empathy and social awareness. According to mural art participant from the Boys Training Centre. I love painting, it means a lot to me but I believe that not only me that should have been taking part, I mean like other young men, they've been taking part too because it means a lot it shows your life mentality, the way you rush the world, the way your life sometimes will go, that way it will grow in the future and bring images, something I love.
