A group of ten year 7 students were invited to attend a trip to Clwyd Theatr Cymru to see the play ‘Wave Me Goodbye’. Following the play, the group met the actors and went backstage. They then completed a workshop and created their own ‘safe space’ using a shoe box and craft materials that they found around the theatre. The workshop gave the students an opportunity to be creative and reflect on important aspects of their own lives, just as ‘Shirley’ in the play had done when she created her own shoe box doll's house.
