YOUNGSTERS from five schools have been discovering African culture this week.
Thirty pupils from the Kingsley, Rift House, St Aidan's, Stranton and Owton Manor primary schools, in Hartlepool, are exploring African drumming and dance at workshops led by national arts-in-education organisation Wise Moves.
The sessions began at the City Learning Centre, in Mapleton Road, on Monday and continue until tomorrow.
The project has been funded by the Government's Excellence in Cities Gifted and Talented initiative.
Karen Adams, co-ordinator of the initiative in Hartlepool, said: "Africa has its own unique and very vibrant culture of music and dance, and these sessions will challenge and develop the youngsters' performing skills."
