Work in schools

Pupils from five primary schools along the lower Teifi worked with West Wales Rivers Trust, spacetocreate and Small World Theatre to create Theatre and make artwork about the River Teifi through a variety of art forms including collage, drawing, mixed media and drama workshops leading to performances using shadow puppetry. The pupils were already well informed about the river's rich biodiversity and understood the importance of protecting and restoring the Teifi. Through exhibitions and performances, the children and the project effectively reached intergenerationally across communities.
