The Comenius project has come to an end. All exchanges have been carried out successfully and a number of artistic projects completed.

All the participating schools have agreed that the two years have been fruitful and that the contacts made should continue and grow. Our ultimate target is to make the projects readily available for other schools to benefit from as well as providing an archive for those who participated in all the events.

Members of the ‘Blackbirds’ Band flew in from Germany especially to join their colleagues at Wildern School to provide live music for the after show party which brought this fantastic project to a close. 

In 2010 those participating in the project were treated to two dance performances illustrating the diversity of dance.

‘Doud’ , a cutting edge contemporary dance performance was performed in the round in an intimate auditorium at Wildern School. The audience sat on cushions surrounding the changing set whilst the dancers interacted directly with them as they explored contact work and physical dance theatre. This contrasted with a visit to Chichester Festival Theatre to see a high energy performance of the musical 42nd Street.

An excursion to the coastal village of Bosham ( Chichester Harbour), on typically English summers Day gave the students the opportunity to sketch landscapes of the estuary or the village with its traditional thatched cottages. A chance to explore Bosham allowed the students to talk and socialize over ice cream and fudge.
