Living Legacies documents over 48 artists, teachers and professionals stories in their own words working in a range of diverse contexts

Involving large numbers of young people, children, extended families and participants, Living Legacies is an example of working in the dynamic changing boundaries between formal, informal and community living educational theory, the space of lifelong learning beyond the constraints of curriculums.

A central question posed by the project was, 'how do I improve what I am doing?'.
