Socially Useful Productive Work/Work Experience (SUPW/WE)

The Workshops on SUPW/WE place a great deal of importance on crafts in the classroom. It is a known fact that “the reference of art,
craft and design extends far beyond being an outlet for students creativity and has a knock - on effect: ‘learning to work independently’
manage a range of tasks, pace their progress and meet deadlines. Every participant of the Workshop gets an opportunity to work with
an artisan, craftsperson or theatre artist as part of their cultural entitlement. The aim is to foster in children a life-long love of learning.
