Would you like the children in your school to engage in a wonderful cross- generational storytelling project? One that will not only enhance literacy skills but also provide joyful collaboration with older members of the community? Our projects take around five days and up to five engaging half days to complete and can involve up to 30 pupils. You and they will also enjoy a lasting legacy in the form of a book for every participant and a stunning large artwork piece for display in school or your community, as well as evidence of improved literacy levels. We also arrange an end-of-project celebration event with a guest author or celebrity. The cost? Around £3000 – and we may be able to help with funding. Contact us to find out more!
