Sketchbook Exchange

Last year, pupils took part in a sketchbook exchange with children at schools in Sarajevo and Erbil, as part of a cultural exchange programme we set up in 2019. Pupils were encouraged to keep visual diaries of their lives before we sent them on to primary schools in other countries for the children there to read and respond to. Last week, our pupils were very excited to see the responses and to see just how similar young people are, no matter where they live around the world. Many thanks to Mrs Palmer, and to Richmond Park Schools in Sarajevo and Stirling Schools in Erbil for taking part; it has been a wonderful way of celebrating the magic of children all over world.
