The Pennants Project
The aims of the Pennants Project are:
To build relationships appropriate for the 21st Century, between the communities and organisations around Bangor and the Ogwen Valley in North Wales, and the community in the Pennants District and others in Clarendon, Jamaica
- through developing understanding of the shared history between the Pennant family from Wales and the Pennants community in Jamaica
- and to identify the current needs in the Pennants District and explore ways to address the priorities and challenges faced by the Pennants community in 2020
- and find ways of funding community need priorities, ie refurbishment of the school facilities and supporting the development of vocational training options
To support the development of links between school students and community members
and to build bridges of communication
- through literacy projects using writing, poetry and music, as well as using community research approaches to explore and tell the story of the shared history
