Because Of You (I'm Ready To Begin)

Welcome to 'Kelvin Grove Audio Adventurers' where your imagination is your passport and borders are boundless! 
This is a series of mini podcasts that have been made in collaboration with children from Kelvin Grove School in Bensham, Gateshead and New Writing North.
The school has a rich cultural diversity with pupils from all over the world and the children are keen to share their stories and celebrate this diversity.
Each episode takes the form of an interview where the children talk to each other about their memories of the countries they were born in, taking us on an audio adventure through Nigeria, Gaza, Czechia, Libya and Spain, vividly describing the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and cultures of each country.
Enjoy the journey!
