St John's and Newtown Primary Schools, 2008
A collaborative project bringing together children from two primary schools in Reading's diverse Newtown community to find points of connection.

Workshop 1: Making new friends through drama

Collaborated with a drama specialist to introduce the children from both schools to concepts of positive relationship building, team work and positive conflict resolution.

Workshop 2: Maps

The children found points of connection through mapping their daily journeys to school, as well as mapping the journeys many of them had taken to settle in Reading.

Workshop 3: Wind Power

The children discovered they had a natural resource of their own: wind power.

Workshop 4: Pedal Power

The children discovered they could power electronic equipment with their own pedal power.
