See the work produced in each school inspired by themes from Gandhi's life in 5 case studies which include photos, films and ideas for Arts Award delivery. Student's work was included in Sampad's international poetry publication and shared here.
This project is part of Sampad's international writing competition "Inspired by Gandhi 2015" introducing writers, poets and spoken word artists to schools. Students from Year Groups 4-6 created poems, listened to performances from poets, learnt new techniques, explored the themes around tolerance, equality and inspired by Gandhi's life, wrote about the changes they would make in the world.
