Dear Mr. Rudd,
SCHOOL CHILDREN CAPITALISE ON EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AT PEOPLE’S SPACE
Teachers and students from schools across the country are taking full advantage of the educational opportunities available at the People’s Space.
The People’s Space is located at the Savannah and is a showcase for arts, culture, music and education of Commonwealth countries.
Coordinator of the Commonwealth Pavilion, Cheryl Mohammed, says thousands of students have visited the venue and have been exposed to vital information which can be used in the pursuit of their studies.
Students taken to the people’s space view documentaries, are taught about aspects of various cultures and are entertained by various artistes.
