Experiential Learning for 3000 children
South Lanarkshire Council
Huge safety event crucial for kids http://www.southlanarkshire.gov.uk/press/article/316/huge_safety_event_crucial_for_kids
More than 3000 children are lined up to take part in this year’s annual Crucial Crew event. This hugely-popular event is now in its 18th year and will kick off its four-week run on Friday 19 August at the James Hamilton Heritage Park, East Kilbride.
And, again, every primary 7 pupil in South Lanarkshire is being given the opportunity to get involved. You can watch last year’s event on YouTube to see what the event is about. Organised by the council, the event is based around the concept of ‘experiential learning’ which gives them a practical insight through carrying out a number of real-life scenarios.

The Hunted
Wed 12th October at the Palace Theatre
1.30pm

“There are paths you should not leave.
There are dreams you should not dream.
There are beasts in the forest that know your name”
A lone girl dares to be something nobody else has been – in a place nobody dares to go. In a wood. With a wolf. But when we’re told not to go – we go. Even if what we find turns our world upside down forever.
Visible Fictions will offer school groups an insight into their new production, The Hunted. Through the Glow network pupils will be offered access to the creation of the piece through interviews with the creative team. A post show discussion with the actors will take place when the production visits the Palace Theatre. Teaching resources will be available to download from our website from August.
If you would like more information about the production contact Paul Gorman, Head of Education and Participation on 0141 221 8727
