Testimonials:

“Ele came to the Migration Museum to run workshops with a range of Primary School students as part of our Refugee Week activities. She captivated students with her incredible story, Boy 87, interweaving the story with a comprehensive teaching of forced migration in a way that was digestible to young audiences. Ele managed to approach a sensitive topic with delicacy and was thoroughly engaging throughout her workshops”

Liberty Melly, Migration Museum

Ele came to our school to deliver a talk to our Year 7 cohort. The day consisted of a talk about her novel ‘Boy 87’, followed by two creative writing workshops of 32 pupils each. Both staff and pupils were wowed by Ele’s delivery. Her presentation in the morning had pupils on the edge of their seats. Similarly, staff loved the session as it gave them further insight into the context of the novel and how to teach it. The two creative workshops that Ele delivered were equally superb. The sessions sparked pupils’ interest in writing and were delivered in a way that enabled all pupils to participate and engage with the learning. Pupils were so excited to plan their own novels with the help of a ‘real’ author. Ele’s session helped to ignite a passion for reading and writing in some of our pupils who had lost their love of books, which in this day and age, is some feat. Bitterne Park Secondary School

“What a fantastic experience for our Year 2 children. Ele had our children thoroughly enthralled as she spoke about her life as an author, her inspirations and we even saw a picture of where she writes. The assembly was pitched perfectly with a super combination of visitor chat and audience participation”

Book Week assembly, Tavistock Infants school
