Take 5ive

The Take 5ive project has created a series of short films with ten primary schools from inner city Nottingham. The project worked with school councils to identify the “five” best aspects of their school and the “five” things they would change to make them even better. The films aim to give inspiration, meaning and motivation to decision makers and service providers to make real changes in policy and environment to improve the lives of local children, families and staff. A number of local authorities across England are adopting the United Nations Conventions of the Rights of the Child in shaping their services. Mosaic has been given as in kind support and is being used to locate similar inner city areas across the UK to encourage other forums to empower children to make changes in their local areas.

Financial donation: $22,000
