Who We Are
Our work is based on experiential learning, allowing participants to discover and gain new skills and networks while encouraging and expanding beyond their comfort zones.
Using story-telling and football activities as unifying tools, participants take part in our weekly programme of structured activities to learn about and value their own identity and challenge their perceptions of others.
Each school is partnered with a school from a different borough in London. In the first 6 weeks, both schools will make a film about their own school, local community, and identity. Both schools will initially get to meet each other through their films... before finally meeting between weeks 11- 13, where both schools get to visit one another over a two-day exchange.
