| "A Sense of Belonging",
exploring identity and community at the Sutherland School, Trench |
Number
of participants: 25
Ethnic backgrounds: White
British
Age range: 14-15
|
| Year 10 students at the Sutherland School
in Telford, produced a banner to represent their thoughts and
feelings about community. |
| The workshop involved young people producing
a mind map of words that represent who they are, where they live
and the best and worst aspects of their local community. The
students developed their mind map into images, which were then
pasted onto the banner. |
| The workshop encouraged students to
look beyond their immediate surroundings and develop an awareness
of themselves, and the part they play within their school and
local community. Pupils also considered how communities can give
us a sense of belonging even though they can be exclusive to
others. |
