Following this, students worked in teams to make a leaflet, a television advert and an online platform to promote their partner. Andrew Bligh, Assistant Head of English, said: ‘There are so many valuable skills involved in a project of this kind: critical thinking, collaboration and creativity, to name but a few.’
Our partners have praised the project too - Marina Kenyon from EAST commented on the significance of such activities, ‘Awareness raising is a really important part of what we do and it’s great to be able to reach out to this group of students. The attitudes of young people will play a central role in the future survival of vulnerable species.’ Olivia Hearn, Business Development Director for the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation very kindly agreed to be our guest judge. She commented: ‘What a pleasure to take part - I was incredibly impressed by the level of all the presentations and honoured to see CNCF’s inclusion.’
