A Slice of Treneere

A large group of young people have been involved in the Heritage Project, exploring what it means to live on Treneere Estate in Penzance. The group have taken photos, interviewed residents, filmed, visited librairies, produced artworks and even taken a scenic flight above the estate. They have produced this book, in scrapbook style. The book displays and celebrates the rich heritage of the estate, the creativity of the children and young people involved in the project and the pride stimulated by this heritage initiative.

Postcards

A photographic exhibition and journey produced by children and young people on treneere. The postcards have images that reflect the views and issues that affect these young people in everyday life. The Postcards were produced as part of 'The Chances Project' and funded by the neighbourhood renewal fund.

'Out of It'
