A Tale Unfolds win COBIS Supporting Member of the Year!
Following our visit to Luxembourg earlier this year to support St George’s International School in hosting their very own school film festival, we’re delighted to announce that A Tale Unfolds has won the 2018 COBIS Supporting Member of the Year, an award celebrating the great work that supporting members do with COBIS schools.
Dom Traynor and Simon James accepted the award on behalf of the team at the COBIS annual conference in London, attended by more than 700 delegates, exhibitors, speakers and guests from more than 65 countries. The award was presented by St George’s Head of Primary, Claire Nuttall. Find out how we worked with Claire and her team in this short film:
Achievement and Progress Leader, Wendi Roberts, nominated ATU for the award: “Over the past 12 months, ATU have transformed our English work into digital projects like Change.org campaign videos, political speeches, cooking programmes and film trailers. They’ve given our teaching staff the confidence to produce a body of work which ATU helped us curate into our first ever St George’s International Primary School Film Festival, a showcase of 20 short films which our pupils wrote and performed themselves.
Parents genuinely appreciated the opportunity that the film festival gave them to get an insider’s view of what exactly happens in our classrooms. In the weeks leading up to the festival, they felt the buzz of what was going on in the classrooms and then got to see the professional end product in our auditorium. It can be difficult to demonstrate the value we create for our parents. The film festival did that for us beautifully.
The team at ATU have been so patient in helping our teachers to cross the digital divide. They helped our students truly love their traditional work and appreciate its importance in their digital world. On the day of the festival, they handled everything from filming to presenting to interviewing our guests of honour allowing our teaching staff, senior leaders and governors to sit back and enjoy the hard work that had taken place in the weeks and months before.”
