Students from Windesheim University

VIEW PROJECT GALLERY

Since 2001 Action Factory have hosted students from Windesheim University, Zwolle in the Netherlands. Students come to Action Factory and spend between 3 and 5 months on their placement, working alongside the core staff team and with arts workers learning about community arts in the UK.

Rachel Van Harten and Wendy Groot Roessink arrived in Blackburn in February 2007 and will be spending 5 months at Action Factory. So far the students have been helping out with workshops, attending planning meetings and contributing to projects at Action Factory.

Rachel will be writing a weblog of her experience at Action Factory, which can be viewed at http://www.rachelatactionfactory.blogspot.com

Rachel will be updating this blog every 2 weeks where she will be telling tales of life at Action Factory and being in another country. Keep checking for updates!

Wendy is also detailing her experiences at Action Factory on a website she has made herself. Wendy will be adding information to this website regularly so make sure you take a look. The web address is
