Football Poets/ Word Up

Tuesday, June 4th, 2002

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 The event which took place simultaneously in Bradford at CLC Bolling and CLC Greenhead was an unqualified success. It was well attended and enjoyed both by the students and staff. Students from Year 6 to Year 11 drawn from schools across Bradford considered issues of Racism and wrote with skill and understanding about the issues.
And we had fun too!

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 The FootballPoets, who regularly run workshops with schools across the country, commented on the quality of the work produced and the exciting nature of using ICT in this way. although their praise was for the students who they found to be hard working, interested and polite.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Thank you to all at CBC. It was an absolute privilege to work with such enthusiastic, talented and polite students. It was also great to see how staff gave up their time too. Our team work was brilliant – 40-50 students in on a hot Saturday – all busily thinking and writing. A great day for active citizenship – good luck to you all! And Come On England tomorrow!
