Thinking positively about the value of "home"

 

 

 

Workshop Description

Whilst great efforts are made to rehouse those who are torn from their homes, it can take many years of struggle to build a new "home". Thinking about this, A Home is More Than a House starts with an activity designed to support pupils in considering and sharing what "home" means to them - and what people torn from theirs might miss. Moving on to the creation of simple origami books, which pupils will fill with their own illustrated glossary of the things that really make a house a home.
