Conversation with Lleah Smith about the project FUTURE SCHOOL developed with Year 3-6 students at the Kandos Public School as a creative re-imaging of the traditional classroom, followed by the experiences of 'home-schooling' during the Covid-19 lockdowns. FUTURE SCHOOL is a framework on how to work with young people so their voices and opinions are heard, valued, and incorporated into the decision making processes. It is a project that builds and develops young people’s confidence, questions the hierarchies of knowledge and the function of the school within the community.
