We are so proud of this groundbreaking initiative! BBC Look East joined us this year to celebrate our commitment to supporting and engaging with local schools. Students from age 4-18 took part in author workshops and the event inspired imaginative thinking, literacy skills and creativity. Creativity is the key that unlocks the door to so many careers and it was fantastic to inspire so many students yesterday. Below is some of the initial feedback:
“The students were amazing, and asked such thoughtful and out-of-the-box questions!
I honestly feel so humbled to play a small part in getting young people excited about reading and storytelling. it’s such a special event.”
