Fitting in with our long standing commitment to global citizenship, the project involved third year pupils in each school, meeting in class or at extra times, to come up with design specifications for posters and postcards that would sum up in strong visual images the articles of the Declaration of Human Rights. At the same time, drama pupils put together a thought provoking piece exploring rights through mime, music and movement. Finishing the arts theme, our music pupils created a mash up of sampled sounds, recorded by pupils from all three schools, interplayed with arresting images, quotes and clips. Leading the art was Miss Armour, who guided the pupils in creating stark symbolic representations of each article, in black and white woodcut style, with minimal or no text. These formed the basis for postcards which were then displayed. Erasmus Project Project Erasmus
