Testimonials ‘What was the most valuable part of the session?':
"Well Prepared. Pitched at right level. Engaged all the children. Brought own resources."
Mrs Gillian Statter, 27/06/2008, New Moston Primary School
"Seeing the EMERGE Centre and what they recycle. The trip to the landfill site organised by EMERGE was very beneficial and enjoyable. The work towards the DVD has been very engaging for the young people."
Aimmee Bennett, 1/11/2008, St Peter's RC High School
"Because the children interacted during the assembly I believe it made them think more about waste products & how we can recycle them."
Karen Brown, 13/11/2008, Haveley Hey Primary School
"The assembly began with a light-hearted look at the pupils' relationship with their mobile phones. This was then powerfully contrasted to the reality of who and what is damaged in the creation of their phones. Staff and pupils were visibly moved and commented afterwards on the impact of the information they were given".
Lucy Tasker, 14/01/2009, Abraham Moss
