About the level 2 workshop

Children become journalists and enter the world of the newsroom in our interactive workshops

Our workshops are immersive newsroom experiences for pupils aged 7-11, generating curiosity and critical engagement with the news. The sessions are designed to work as an exciting hook for schools who are running the NewsWise project with their classes.

In role as journalists, pupils are introduced to key concepts and skills that they will explore in greater detail in the unit of work, such as how the news is made, issues of fake news, the importance of balance in news stories, and producing their own written or audio news reports.

I cannot fully express how brilliant the workshop was. Everything was so meticulously organised from resources to delivery and it was a pleasure to be a part of and witness. Even now, days on, the children are still reeling from the experience and talking about it at every opportunity.
