Globes depicting culture and heritage go on display

Vibrant globes designed by children and covering themes including climate change and identity have gone on display in Sheffield.

The project outside Sheffield Cathedral saw local artists working with schools in Doncaster to develop ideas and create the 10 artworks.

One globe shows an image of William Kamkwamba from Malawi, who built electric windmills for his village when he was aged 14 in 2001.

The Triangle of Unity learning programme is a national art and education initiative led by The World Reimagined charity and the Church of England's racial justice unit.

The charity said the project connects classrooms "with peers in West Africa and the Caribbean, using creative learning to explore shared history and reimagine the Atlantic triangle as a space of connection and hope".

Matt Walker, assistant head at Rossington St Michael's C of E Primary, one of the participating schools, said: "Some of our children have real, lived experience of the places we've looked at.

"The children have found awe and wonder through hearing about living there."

Rossington All Saints Academy has also been involved in the project, with the globes on display until 10 March.

St Michael's said it hoped to have some of the globes back on display at the school after the Sheffield Cathedral exhibition ended.
