EDUCATION PROGRAMME 1 year old!  One year has passed since our Education Launch, and to celebrate we held a Community Ceilidh in Moretonhampstead Parish Hall on Saturday 26th January - it was great fun!  We have had a very busy year, and have really enjoyed getting to know lots of new schools, school pupils and other people through our projects.  We look forward to continuing the development in 2008.

HOT AIR!

Workshops for schools on climate change, explored through interactive theatre techniques are available. Based on our 2008 Community play - Hot Air, these workshops involve a fictional debate about renewable energy resources.  Please visit our pages on the play HOT AIR(click), for more information.
