take part art is a success!

We have had over a 1000 children and young people take part in workshops about friendship. They studied animals behaviour in the wild, learning how they interact as a group and their ways and reasons for making friends. Once they had decided which animal they were most like as a friend they made their image to go on the box.

Baboons spend lots of time with their friends, playing and looking after each other.













Dolphins make friends for a long time.

Giraffes are happy on their own.

Squirrels have a big social network.

White Rhinos like to have travelling buddy when they leave home.

Vampire Bats help their friends in need.
