During August 2006, young people from Newport gave up two weeks of their summer break to produce a colourful graffiti artwork depicting scenes from their local area.

The teenagers from Alway, ranging from 10 to 16 years old, worked alongside professional artist Kyle Legall, who guided them through brainstorming sessions to generate concepts before moving on to planning and preparing designs through sketching.

According to a South Wales Argus report dated 14 August 2006, the finished artwork featured various local projects such as the fruit and vegetable bag initiative, vocal tuition sessions, and the after-school club.

The piece was shown at the Supermarket Express on Alway Parade and was intended to be taken down when the Alway regeneration programme commenced, with proposals to adorn the replacement youth centre within the following 18-month period.

Altogether, 30 teenagers took part in the activities staged by Alway Youth Development, which additionally included DJ and breakdance instruction sessions.

During the DJ sessions, those taking part acquired mixing and scratching abilities, while the breakdance classes instructed them in techniques including spinning, the six-step move, and headstands.

Stephanine Pike, representing the youth development organisation, stated that initiatives of this kind engaged young people in constructive transformation by aligning with their passions, keeping them occupied during out-of-school hours and enhancing how their neighbourhood is perceived.
