As part of our ACE funded work with communities and again working with partnership with Professor Gil Pasternak at De Montfort University in Leicester we have just received 300 printed 25-page workbooks for Key stage 3 students (11-14 year olds). Part of the process involved a series of pilots projects with pupils at Heath Park High School and help from students at Dudley College who are also part of the work with various partners and we are very thankful to them for their input in helping us create the workbook. The student workbook achieves something important from the photographic collection we have now amassed as it addresses the impact of Punjabi’s in the region in the post war era. We wish to thank and congratulate Professor Gil Pasternak with an incredible achievement for us through some very hard graft. He continues to help advise, encourage and direct BCVA into this archive. Lots more to come from him!
