Our Home Our Patch

Providing meeting places, resources and starting points for young people to voice opinions and generate ideas.

Oriel Davies and The One Planet Generation Project are collaborating with Fair Play - a creative consultancy formed by artist Lauren Heckler and writer Emma Beynon.

Our Home Our Patch is an idea/project/work in progress being developed by Lauren and Emma. It is a creative programme for young people, providing space, resources and starting points to voice opinion and generate ideas.

Initially Fair Play are developing workshops that focus on participants creating a character who has something to say about climate change, which they will scaffold through creative exercises in writing, drawing and costume making.

Workshops will take place in August and participants can book by following the page links. For young people aged 12 - 18.
