Eliot Now
Funded by Clore Poetry and Literature Awards
An exciting and challenging project where children in years 5 and 8 in the BLC read, reflect and respond to the poetry of TS Eliot. This project brings the students work beyond the classroom through partnership with Photofusion gallery in Brixton and Brixton libraries. Postcards and posters will celebrate the work on the streets of Brixton.
“Poetry and literature reveal new possibilities and worlds beyond our own. It is vital that all children and young people experience the power of literature, poetry and creative writing – they are at the heart of our experience and culture.” Dame Vivien Duffield, Clore Duffield Foundation![CD_logo_-_Jan_10[1]](https://brixtonlearningcollaborative.files.wordpress.com/2013/12/cd_logo_-_jan_101.jpg){kind=logo}
