To inspire our ideas on HOW I WANT MY PLANET TO BE we’ll use the libray’s outdoor space right next to the workshop room.
This space leads on to the library’s beautiful wild flower garden.
There’s a kitchen where you take a break at any time and help yourself to refreshments. And there’s an accessible toilet.
Each session lasts 1.5 hours.
There are 3 sessions.
* At the first two workshops we come up with ideas about HOW I WANT MY PLANET TO BE.
We’ll write, doodle and make zines together. All the materials will be provided.
* At the third and final session we celebrate your writing and making talent – as well as your voices – in front of family, friends and library visitors.
* You can take your zine home and show it off at school.
