Creating My Cambridge
'Creating My Cambridge' is a public art project designed and delivered by Historyworks to share historical sources about Cambridge's people and places, past and present. It uses histories to inspire creativity and cultures of belonging. The aim is to give voice to school pupils, singers, musicians, poets, rappers, storytellers, film-makers and composers. Historyworks is working with top poets like Michael Rosen & witty lyricists like CBBC's Horrible Histories song writer Dave Cohen, organizing workshops and events for people to get creative. Do use these resources and contribute subjects and creative pieces. You can find the dedicated website providing all the FREE resources here: http://www.creatingmycambridge.com/
