THE EVER-CHANGING LANGUAGE OF CHILDHOOD

This project seeks to create a place where immigrants who have moved to Southend-on-Sea would have a place to come and exchange not only culture but also language. With the addition of providing a place for young children to be cared for a looked after to allow a place and the time for their mothers to be able to learn skills and develop their English. This has come from my own personal experience in England and the difficulties my mother herself still faces today after having had two young children to look after, it meant she was not able to go out and learn and so the wedge between her and the culture grew as the rest of my family began to integrate better. This project aims to critique the integration of immigrants in our modern society and how we can provide safe and educational spaces for women and children for them to feel welcome and part of this country. Providing gardens for the learning of a craft as well as a crèche for the children and a classroom that can be adapted for various purposes as well as a theatre for the reunion of the community.
