The Children’s Democratic Republic of Bridport was a children’s creative writing project that ran for two intensive weeks in the summer from 29th July August 2024. It took place in Bridport and  the Project involved a group of 23 nine to fourteen-year-olds and was designed to get them thinking about how you go about creating a country and how those countries choose to govern and conduct themselves. The intended outcomes were to produce everything we felt was necessary for a new country to have (laws, manifesto, transport system, education system, national anthem/sport/dish, flag etc. etc). We would then get these professionally produced and use them to furnish and display in our new embassy which would be open to the public for a number of weekends.
