THE AWEN PROJECT<\/span><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Hello, we are The Awen Project! An outdoor, democratic learning community for 11- to 15-year-olds within the lovely village of Wenvoe. It\u2019s a perfect location for us here, as it\u2019s right in the middle of the Vale of Glamorgan. In our community, we choose how we learn and are encouraged to follow our passions. We\u2019re very welcoming to new members and people trying out!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We learn through projects, and this term we\u2019re making a film. Earlier in the year, we explored shot sizes, camera angles, and different film genres. Now we\u2019re in the process of writing the script for our biggest film yet. We even got funding from Taith to travel to Venice by train, with stops in Paris and Milan, to film some of our scenes. We\u2019re aiming to complete it by July so we can present it at a festival this summer!<\/p>\n

\n

How to support us:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As well as being a learning community, we are also a charity. We run fundraising events such as our Full Moon Silent Discos and our Wild Banquets. These are fun events for all the family, and we hope you\u2019ll join us for some!<\/p>\n
