The Champions
The original goal was to work with 17 partners throughout the UK during 2009, which is the second year FasciNation, of the five year project. Many of the partners have long term intentions to continue on the Imagination Our Nation journey until the culmination in 2012.
Many of the Champions (Puppets) have a presence on Social Networking Sites including Facebook, flikr, Youtube and Blogspot, visit the champions page and follow the links.
See how you can take part“Our puppet is a very young child, shy but very inquisitive and eager to make friends with the children at our school. He is going to learn to be a friend to all kinds of people, he will be a good listener. He's very excited about school.”
