Every year, dozens of young men and women finish their studies at Step Up. But Step Up is more than an place where you get an education – it is also a community; somewhere you can find help and support; and a place to meet friends.
We pride ourselves on the fact that many of graduates stay in touch with us after their studies are over, continue to take part in events – and sometimes even volunteer to help at the centre.
In recent years, Step Up has begun to organise reunions for graduates – a day when we gather together all the graduates from the centre so everyone can find out what each other has been up to, re-connect with teachers and classmates, meet current students and find out what’s going on at Step Up.
This year, we held our graduate reunion in a slightly different format – as a film festival! Some of our graduates, current students and volunteers showed films that they had made, and then there was a chance to ask the creators questions and share opinions and impressions.
The films included a documentary shot by one of our volunteers about a remote region of northern Russia and the reindeer herders who live there.
