Wish You Were Here
Wish You Were Here was an English PEN pilot project in partnership with Islington Word2012 festival. Letters were sent from students in a London school to young people of similar ages in a school in Freetown, Sierra Leone. We commissioned photographs of the letters once they’d arrived in the hands of their recipients. The project celebrated global citizenship through creative writing, encouraging an exchange of ideas through literature.
