Poles_Apart_part_2

In 2004, eight Eastern European states joined the EU and since then there has been a huge number of Polish workers coming into the UK. With the help of Hants Media Hub and funding from Awards For All, the students of Testbourne Community School decided to make a short film, examining the Polish community in the UK. The students received training from Hants Media Hub in camera techniques, lighting skills and interview strategies before making the film. They then visited locations including a Polish bar & restaurant, schools and a local toddlers group, with the aim of gaining an insight into Polish people, their culture and issues that they face when coming to the UK.
