Just some of the comments from pupils and teachers from 30 schools who joined invited guests at the preview showing of the "Discovering a Sense of Place" photographic exhibition.

Developing a Sense of Place exhibition June 2011

A joint Biosphere Reserve, Beaford Arts and Devon Learning and Development Partnership project, it used the wonderful Biosphere environment and inspiration from the Beaford Ravilious photographic archive to strengthen and deepen young people's understanding and pride in where they live. The photos were of a phenomenal standard and the exhibition is likely to be installed at other locations such as libraries and local authority offices.
