Space for Dialogue
Growing engaged young people who can have a voice, and equipping schools to talk with each other through their students.
Case Study 1: working with 11 - 18 year olds who are on the Comberton Academy Trust Council.
Case Study 2: working with six primary schools, the Cromer Ridge partnership, using the brief 'Norfolk Ambition'.
"This is a pilot connecting organisations empowered by young peoples leadership, and what is exciting is that it could work in a variety of settings. A real opportunity to develop a collective voice across all ages of the student population. Three important words - environment, culture and identity" Diane Goldsmith - Artistic Director.
Partners: Norfolk and Norwich Festival Bridge, Norfolk Schools: Good to Great, Comberton Academy Trust, Cromer Ridge Schools, The Garage Norwich, BBC Voices.
