Once again led by Jo Grace - with Konrad. The I Packed This Myself roadshow is really getting underway now. Jo reports back...
"....today's workshop went well with the yr 11s at Penryn school .... always good to meet students who aren't afraid to voice their opinions, and when they're prepared to say what they really think it gives us an opportunity to answer to what they really think. I think they all got a lot out of talking to Konrad and it was nice to hear them open up into asking him questions about sports and just lifestyle type questions, as you could hear in these questions that they recognised in him, a guy very similar to themselves.
At the start of the workshop the majority of the class, something like 22 out of 23 thought we didn't need migrant workers in Cornwall, and also the vast majority thought that a migrant worker was likely to be someone uneducated. I think we've successfully swayed opinion so that now the majority answer in the opposite direction."
