Dear Cathy
I worked with Jack and Marie during the making of the documentary 'Bridging
the gap' footage is shown at 4.40 taken at Joy Mounters school where
children of primary age are learning how to use digital media, film and
photography and leaning from older people in the community whilst also
providing learning for older people as a two way process of knowledge and
understanding exchange. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9lbYe7HOQ4
Please also find links to 'living legacies' 'Creativity Works' and 'Water
memories making history' all of which show contain examples of children
learning in multiple environments and in different ways. see
http://www.mondaystudio.co.uk/publications.html
What I have tried to do in my work is move the common understanding of
'Education' as being something practiced at school in hermetically sealed
and closed environments under strict curriculum guidelines and move it out
into the community breaking down out dated perceptions of divisions in
society. We learn all the time from a range of experiences and people.
I hope you find the links useful
All the best Andrew Henon
