00:00It looks like a pizzeria, feels like a classroom and sounds like a steel band, but this is no ordinary space.
00:10Welcome to the Separia Del Tones Ponyard Universe, a vibrant hub where culture, creativity and community all meet under one roof.
00:21Today we are displaying all that heritage petroleum Separia Del Tones has to offer.
00:27All our musical programs, our sport programs, our entrepreneurial programs, our upcycling initiatives, so our culinary arts initiative as well and even the artistry.
00:39We have classes with us going on today, stateside sessions, the under 12 programs, the primary school programs, we have sports happening.
00:49So our panyard is not just another panyard, this is called the Panyard Universe.
00:54One of the standout initiatives is a youth-led upcycling project that turns discarded pallets into marketable furniture.
01:03We created this project called Pal Let's Build It, which means Pal Let's Build It and Pal Let's Build It.
01:09So we use these old crates that would usually go into the dump and burn and cause further problems in the environment.
01:18And we have cycled them, and these youths are very handy and skillful, create so many different products.
01:25Stools, benches, grow boxes, and you name it, to be able to really, well, sell and create a living.
01:34It's an holistic model they believe more organizations should adopt.
01:39That we strongly believe that we have really stretched the borders of what a panyard ought to be.
01:49A space that, I would say, brings social mobility, that brings and presents a cultural framework
01:59that allows persons to have knowledge as self and appreciation as self, and this appreciation as self transcends this environment.
02:07It is a space that encourages young people to find their rhythm in every sense, and reshape their futures in the process.
02:16Problems is not permanent. There always are solutions for problems.
02:21And I just have to say that all the youths out there, just be positive and focus on other life.
