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.
Location: Nottingham Financial donation: $22,000 Community benefits: The 12 films were premiered
in front of an influential audience at Nottingham’s independent
cinema and celebrated the children’s achievement. Following
this screening, the children’s ideas for change were listened
to and will be actioned.
