About
The Olympic Games are not just about sport, they are also about achievement. This project enabled young people to explore the dedication, resilience and passion of our sporting, local and cultural heroes to ask, ‘What does it take to get to the top and be respected by others?’
 Each participating school worked with a professional filmmaker to train up a team of budding filmmakers equipped to devise, shoot and edit their own short film based on the topic of heroes, collected into jam jars and recipe books.
The schools:
Barking and Dagenham
Eastbrook School – students created a creepy story exploring what might happen if they were locked in the school after hours.
