North Tyneside Sound Walk 2020

In partnership with the North Tyneside Learning Trust, the Parliamentary Archives, and Nexus (Tyne & Wear Metro), the North Tyneside Sound Walk 2020 saw Year 9 children from 3 secondary schools working together to create a unique resource for visitors to their local area.

Over two weeks, the children worked together with artists, musicians, teachers, archivists and more, to uncover stories from the history of North Tyneside.

Inspired by these stories, the children developed three sound walks, and visual art for an exhibition in a local art gallery.

Created, devised & performed by the children of Norham, John Spence Community and Marden High Schools.
