In June, we launched a new project with Woodville Infant School, 'Woodville Travels the World'. The project was a response to feedback from teachers and parents that they would like children to have the opportunity to experience cultures from across the world. Over the course of a week pupils celebrated the cultures of Asia with Sushi Maker Hiroko Clark, Visual Artist Chila Burman, Indonesian dance with Nusantara, and Bollywood dance with Nupar Arts. The weeks activities culminated in a celebratory event showcasing the beautiful artwork produced , and sampled Malaysian food. Thank you to all of the wonderful pupils for their energy and enthusiasm throughout the week. The project will continue to make its way across the continents during this school year.

The Swadlincote Aspergers Society are currently working on compiling the work of participants, created over the past year, into a book, to be published early next year. With stories, photography and different art forms, the book promises to be a colourful and creative read. To find out more about the work of the group click here.
