The context for learning and teaching for this resource is Fife Earth, an ambitious land regeneration project. 

Fife Earth

“Fife Earth is a surface coal mine, three miles squared, being reclaimed as a huge project, but this is much more. Fife Earth is reclaiming and transforming this huge site into a celebration of art, creativity and of Scotland, its history, its achievements and its place in the world. It is art created by bulldozers. It is a vision driven by ambition, conceived by one man and being realised by many. ” 

From the essay ‘How big are your dreams?’ by David Cameron, Education Consultant
