Voluntary Action Fund (VAF) recently ran a competition requesting applications from schools and community based organisations working with children aged 10 - 11 in Scotland.
VAF were asked on behalf of American Mothers to pilot a scheme for the first time outside the USA.
Using a variety of mediums, children were asked to explore the theme “What my mother* means to me...”
The term ‘Mother’ in this context was not gender specific and therefore could mean anyone that undertakes the role and espouses these values to the children – whether a teacher, an older brother/sister, parent, grandparent. Children could choose to work individually, in pairs or small groups to produce their chosen art.
The children could :
Write a 500 word essay
Make a short film
Write a poem
Use photography
Produce artwork
The competition aimed to:
Raise awareness of the values associated with nurturing and building the capacity of humankind
Aligned to this we aim to:
Celebrate diversity;
Recognise societal values;
Enable children to come together from a diversity of areas and backgrounds
We managed to secure first place winning £100 for our charity, along with £60 worth of WH Smith vouchers to divide up between the children and our very own first place certificate.
Have a look at our winning entry below!
