Children develop important skills such as communicating ideas, empathetic listening, visual presentation using 'old' and 'new' multi-media technologies. The projects aim to build the child's confidence and help them to view the world as a place where equality must prevail, a world in which what they do and say and how they behave matters.

PROJECTS

Lamajo's projects are about tapping into children's 'hidden talents', nurturing them into appreciation of their own heritage, at the same time showing respect and appreciation for others. Projects with are fun and activity based, encouraging participation and team work.

Examples of projects we have developed include;

REFUGEES - BEHIND THE HEADLINES
Using Drama and Creative writing to challenge attitudes and perceptions about refugees and developing positive strategies in working with refugee children. Children are encouraged to write poems, short stories and make posters.

OPEN CIRCLES
A project working with families from mixed heritage background in the valleys, exploring issues such as identity and challenging racism.

AFRICAN CHILDHOOD
Taken on tour around different schools, it looks at the experiences of growing up in a different culture. It encourages children to focus on the similarities of shared childhood experiences using storytelling, music, dance drama and games to bring it to life. This project offers a taster to the different art forms that offers -A true taste of WestAfrican culture!!!!.
