DARTMOUTH MAYFLOWER
Dartmouth Mayflower 400’s Education Projects are stim- ulating and wide-ranging. With a clear focus on learning, schools and colleges in the area are involved in exciting projects, producing pieces that will be part of a legacy that will endure well beyond 2020.
The primary schools are work- ing on an Illustrated Book of Children’s Mayflower Stories that will involve around 70 pupils from 5 primary schools. Children will write and illustrate stories based on characters that sailed on the Mayflower and the pub- lished book will be on sale by Easter 2020. We are very grateful to the Arts Society, Dartmouth and Kingswear, for supporting this project.
Dartmouth Academy students are working with artist Mark Gregory to produce a sculp- ture of a figure representing a Pilgrim that will be a permanent installation in the town. Mark has created a galvanised steel frame and students will design and create images on copper

panels that will be riveted to the framework. The sculpture will be unveiled in mid-October 2019 and will be situated on the Mayflower Heritage Trail. We are very grateful to South Hams District Council for supporting this project.
The Film Project involves students from Plymouth College of Art, is led by the film director Peter Nicholson, and gives local pupils a fantastic opportunity to do work experience alongside them. We plan to create a touring cinematic event comprising five short films based on themes from the May- flower Story. Our aim is for the films to say something powerful and resonant about the issues facing humanity in the 21st century. The programme will be screened in a variety of venues throughout 2020. We are very grateful to Elmgrant Trust and Wakefield Trust for sup- porting this project.
HERITAGE TRAIL Dartmouth is one of 13 May- flower Towns that are creating trails that will tell their unique part in the Mayflower Story. Dartmouth’s Mayflower Heritage Trail will paint a picture of 17th century Dartmouth, as it was when the Mayflower and Speedwell were at anchor in the river in 1620. Dartmouth was a thriving, affluent port with successful trade links and shipbuilding yards. Several buildings along the route are merchant’s houses dating from this period. The Town Trail will weave around Dartmouth, with stops at points of interest along the route. We have commissioned unique way markers that will indicate the route and interpretation panels will highlight fascinating facts. An App is available to download at
https://www.mayflower400uk. org/visit/app/. Leaflets and a children’s quiz will be available from the Visitor Centre and Tour Guides will be available for organised tours. The Town Trail will be opened in mid November 2019, with a further two sections planned for 2020. It will be a permanent feature that will be enjoyed by visitors and locals for years to come. We are very grateful to Dartmouth Town Council for supporting this project.
