Naval Children’s Charity Military workshop

Back to News
23rd Apr 2024

Update - Tuesday 23rd April - see below.

On Thursday 18th April we hosted Jenny, from https://www.neversuchinnocence.com/

The workshop was all about Photography through the theme: Life as a Dandelion - which aimed to build peer to peer empathy and understanding about military life. All pupils involved in the workshop were children who had military family members - they also invited some of their friends along to the workshop too.  All pieces that the chilldren made today can now be entered in the NSI Month of the Military Child competition, as there are categories for both military and civilian children. More information will be attached to this website post when we receive it for those interested.
