This programme, lead by film-maker Jon Robson was geared to further international, creative links between Hull and Ethiopian communities. This work was started through the production of a series of films which were designed to capture impressions of life and learning for young Ethiopians.

The content of these films will inform future learning in Hull schools, around film making and citizenship and is geared to enhance a creative dialogue between Ethiopian and Hull schools. These films were produced during projects and workshops held in Ethiopia. The students we worked with attended the JRDC School. Shashemene. [Jamaican Rastafarian Development Community]
