As part of the HIVE residency Anand Chhabra approached schools in the city of Worcester that he could work with, criteria had to be pupils with a mix of nationalities and cultures so he could conduct a heritage project as part of Moving to the City. Working with YR6 pupils (60) Anand worked with the school weekly to highlight each others migration to the City of Worcester and host a celebration day at the school where pupils and parents could get involved being dressed up in their clothing that celebrates their culture. This event also being part of building photo album for the school that acts as an archive. On one of the weeks was a visit to the HIVE to visit the strongrooms as well learn more photo skills through photo -storytelling. The result was a heightened sense of learning of each others heritage and culture, photo story telling and camera skills, all this still not taught in schools!
