Going Up Going Down
Parents in Hob Moor in York have been working with Big Wide Talk since 2002 and in 2007 a small group of them formed an asset club to be able to work with Big Wide Talk to deliver an exhibition to other children and families in the area where they lived. The Hob Moor Asset Club were involved in the planning, promotion, set up and running of the exhibtion. 943 children and 406 adults from 22 settings took part in the two-week long exhibition, Going Up Going Down.
The exhibition generated 120 hours of footage and members of the asset club were also involved with Big Wide Talk in sharing this footage with participants as they co-authored their stories about the experience.
The exhibition featured Big Wide Talk's 6-metre high Great Glass Climbing Wall, which was supervised by staff from our local network, including speech and language therapists, local childcare workers and Big Wide Talk staff.
In February 2008, members of the Hob Moor Asset Club presented their work and some of the co-authored stories by participant settings to key decision-makers in York.
