Never give up: Retelling Wangari's Trees of Peace

Oakgrove Primary School in Glasgow put ‘peace at the heart’ when the power of music and storytelling led them to create their own retelling of the children’s book Wangari’s Trees of Peace by Jeanette Winter. Drawing on West of Scotland’s Global Storylines Approach and the musical knowhow of the Conservatoire, Oakgrove’s P5 class created a production travelling all the way to the Scottish Parliament. At an eco-school with a vibrant peer mediation scheme, the story of Nobel Prize-winner Wangari Maathai resonated.
