Schools Linking made a great start last week as teachers from across Bury attended CPD1. They explored key questions Who am I? Who are you? Where do we live? and How do we live well together? and met their linking partners. Thanks Sarah @Linking_Network for a fantastic session!

All the students are now looking forward to getting together with their partner school to learn more about Holocaust Memorial from the project's Holocaust Arts Educator, @CSlifkin , and explore ideas for their own creative piece. Thanks to @BoltonACIS for sharing this project.

By looking at the portrayal of identity through art of Holocaust survivors and victims, students from @stmonicas @TottingtonHigh Bury Church High and The Elton High will make their own artistic responses to the Schools Linking question: Who am I?

Bury Secondary Schools Linking Programme launched last week. Funded by @TheAJR_ and @Linking_Network, the project has a focus on Holocaust Memorial. Led by Holocaust Arts educator, @CSlifkin and @FairFutures1 director Janet Holden, the event welcomed students from 4 Bury schools
