This is an exploration of the possibility of staging the first live music show from the edge of space.

Founding member Mark Turner

PGDip Town Planning

Like all good ideas, the concept for our website was born during a chat in a pub. A group of LSBU students were discussing how difficult it was as we were based at a variety of locations. We then thought about how the world was becoming smaller through technology and wondered why distance should cause us such difficulties. So we came up with the idea for the Planning Scholars website.

The Charlie Chaplin Project
Collaboration with local community schools

PGCE

Students on our PGCE courses collaborated with children and teachers from over 20 primary schools on The Charlie Chaplin Project, a large scale community history project which focused on life in Southwark and Lambeth during Chaplin's childhood. Participating in the project allowed them to experience how creative interpretation of a thematic cross-curricular approach to stimulating children can extend the range of their learning experiences.
