Developing and producing a range of creative projects at Challenge College in Manningham, Bradford and also now at Parkside School arts college, Cullingworth, Bradford aimed at promoting creative learning and developing the theme of communication within the school and the local community.

Example projects include:

Challenge Ident: Producing a taster, celebration and confirmation of creativity at Challenge College which will be launched with an informative DVD in June/July 2008.

GTR-BKR: a Humanities Department project to explore life and land use along the Bradford to Keswick trade route. Inspired by the journey made by photographer Tim Smith and writer Irna Quereshi along the Grand Trunk Road, a trade route running through India, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Created with Irna, Tim and designer Tim Copsey.

The Bradford to Keswick road was chosen as it mirrors the Grand Trunk Road route in a number of ways; a road of some antiquity, it is linked to the development and heritage of the settlements along its way, reflecting the diversity of the land and the lives of the people. 2007.
