Hannah Moore Mums Ride Together (2011)
How a day out riding can bring together parents of children attending an inner-city primary school
See Everything is Beautiful, I Think
This project was designed to make stronger an English Language group for mothers of children attending an inner-city primary school, all from different cultural backgrounds. The mothers are encouraged to improve their English in order to better support their children’s education. This day trip away horse-riding was a dream they had all had for years and allowed them to not only have fun and get to know each other better and therefore feel motivated to learn together back home, but also gave them the chance to talk and ask each other the questions they have never dared ask at the school gates.
"We are a group at Hannah Moore Primary School, an English conversation group. We have a meeting every week, just speaking about the country, our lives, about our country. Its so exciting, I'm so happy. I think we all know each other a lot better after today...We've had a bit of a challenge and got to know each other and become firmer friends."
