A WORLD IN A SUITCASE
Young people have great imaginations. Our project is perfect for giving young people the space to imagine their future worlds and bring their dreams to life through words and images.
Gateway Academy
We worked with Gateway Academy's gifted students to produce some remarkable work.
Run over eight weeks the students became explorers and kept a log of their journey. Through their imagination they had to fly on a magic carpet, overcome obstacles, plan what to take with them on their journey until they glimpsed their Future World. They captured their thoughts and feelings using drawing and stories. All their work was collated into individual books for each student and showcased in an exhibition in Autumn 2017. (Also see our other site for more info about the project)

The students drew a self portrait of their future self.
Here is a slideshow from some of the books about their journey.
On the first session they had to imagine they were on a magic carpet setting out to their future world. They wrote and illustrated a story based on where they landed.
On another session the students had to write and illustrate another story in response to this illustration about encountering obstacles on their journey. |
