The Tribe have been busy drilling, painting and strumming, prepping for tomorrow's Celebration of Work! Join them in celebrating all they have achieved this year along with live performances from the Awen band ahead of their appearance at the Big Love Festival later this week.

Awen provides an environment where members of the Tribe choose their own learning journey. Young people thrive within this amazing democratic community. They not only have the freedom to explore academically and creatively but Awen also helps build real world skills such as chairing meetings, self awareness, self reliance and team work.

Help us continue to support young people to thrive! If you cannot make to the Celebration, please consider donating https://www.justgiving.com/charity/theawenproject
