Stratford City is the largest mixed-use regeneration project in the UK to date. Yet, many teenagers are not aware of the project or what the impact on their neighbourhood and community will be over the next 5 years. This resource aims to inform younger children of the developments in their local area and the opportunities
that Stratford City will offer them in the future.

Young people create short fiction books for primary children by using research from a target audience, and draw on their imagination and technical skill, to inform children of the benefits of Stratford City and the facilities that will be available to them.

The project provided the basis of the Print Production Unit for BTEC First Certificate/Diploma but can be adaptable to GCSE or KS3 projects and has several cross-curricular links.
