A crime writer is helping pupils from North Yorkshire unleash their creativity through immersive storytelling workshops.
Rachael Blok is leading Wild Foundations CSI Workshops across six schools in Harrogate and Knaresborough, giving pupils the chance to build characters, stretch their imagination, and craft their own stories.
The workshops, delivered in partnership with Harrogate International Festivals, are part of the wider Wild Foundations programme, established in memory of Victor Wild of Bettys and Taylors of Harrogate.
Jonathan Wild of Wild Foundations said: "Wild Foundations is our way of honouring our father's legacy - not just as a polymath, but as someone who believed deeply in the power of curiosity and creativity.
"Through these workshops, we hope to spark that same spirit in young people across Harrogate, giving them the tools to explore, imagine, and grow."
The sessions, designed for children aged nine to 12, are taking place at Aspin Park Academy, Grove Road Community Primary, Hookstone Chase Primary, Meadowside Primary Academy, New Park Primary Academy, and Saltergate Primary School.
Sharon Canavar, chief executive of Harrogate International Festivals, said: "We are passionate about encouraging children to engage with stories and books, and there’s no better way of doing it than through exciting, interactive sessions like this where they’re learning and having fun at the same time."
