![]() ![]() ![]() As many as 500 children a week now connect to volunteers around the world who work in collaboration with the local teacher to tell stories to each other, to play games and to do other activities to help them bring the English that they are learning come to life. From these humble beginnings, the Hands Up Project now works with over thirty different groups in Gaza, in the Occupied West Bank, and in Zaatari refugee camp for Syrian children in Jordan. In 2014, using very simple video conferencing tools, Nick started connecting online to a small group of children in a library in Beit Hanoun, Gaza for weekly storytelling sessions. Nick will give an illustrated talk about this fantastic project which engages Gazan children in drama and storytelling. Nick Bilbrough founder of the Hands Up project will be in conversation with Jeremy Harmer, English language teaching author practitioner and trainer. ![]()
