25. “I think this project has been fantastic
for the kids, just seeing them there
enjoying themselves and telling stories.
Since you came into the nursery she
makes her own stories up at bedtimes.
We even have a go at making new
stories up too. She absolutely loves it.”
Parent at Chatham Nursery

take away the prejudices based
simply on your clothes and where
you live…..the ‘old masters’ style is
to remind older generations that
they were once young too!”
Young Participant.

students loved being able to touch
objects like those normally kept
behind glass, it has really helped
the students develop a better
understanding of the issues
surrounding transatlantic
slavery”.
