Stepney Stories - sharing - mirroring exercise

Our Work With Schools

Magic Me connects schools with older people in their community through the arts. We work with Primary and Secondary Schools across Tower Hamlets, connecting students with local older people for mutual benefit.

Arts & Ages

Arts & Ages is an ambitious three year intergenerational arts programme nurturing partnerships between 8 primary schools and 8 groups of older people in Tower Hamlets

Reflections of Stepney

This intergenerational group have explored the theme of ‘reflection’, notions of identity and how identity is formed. The group have written their own version of the Narcissus story, from Greek Mythology, using music, storytelling and drawing.

Outside In

Outside In brought together children from Clara Grant Primary School with older people in the local community, at the Linc Centre.

Passing Notes

Passing Notes brought together children from Osmani Primary School with residents from John Sinclair Court, managed by One Housing.

Stepney Stories

Stepney Stories brought together children from John Scurr Primary School, Tower Hamlets with residents from Hawthorn Green Care Home, Tower Hamlets in Autumn 2017.

Journeys

Local older people from Tower Hamlets (linked to the Bromley-by-Bow Centre and the Fern Street Settlement) worked with pupils from Clara Grant Primary School and Old Palace Primary School in 2016 to create an original performance about life's journeys, migration and transitions.
