For the last couple of months we've been working with Shacklewell School, a local primary school in Hackney and Save the Children on a project for the G20 in April.

Here are two of the team, Zac and Charlie:

The kids, aged between 8 and 11 years old have created a charter of children's rights to tell all the important world leaders what kids around the world all need. The Global Charter is part of a campaign that StC are running to target the G20 leaders at this year's big meeting in April in London.
Here's a picture of Kate from Save the Children talking to the group:

The children have spent the past few weeks thinking about what they would ask world leaders for; what they think all kids around the world deserve – from clean water to a greener place to live, to celebrating their birthdays. We then worked with them to create a film that encapsulated all their 'wishes', to become a Global Children's Charter.

And yesterday the film premiere was held here at W+K London.
All the kids, their wonderful teacher Jodie Carris, their headmaster David Bridson, some lovely people from Save the Children and a number of very special guests arrived for lunch and then the first ever film showing. And it was brilliant! Everyone was thoroughly impressed and delighted with the children's work- not least the kids themselves. 
 

 
They are such a brilliant bunch of kids, and we have loved every minute of working with them. They are surprising, funny, loud, kind, clever, enthusiastic and honest, very, very honest.

At the end of the screening, we asked the kids what their favourite bit of the project was, these are some of their answers.  There was a clear theme:
Making the film
The food
The table football
The lunch
The acting
The food
Working with Save the Children
The lunch
Learning about kids around the world
The cakes
Getting to watch the film
Making something important
Everything!
Who is this Widen and Kennedy?
The lunch
 
At the end, Lucy, Nev, Sam and I were all presented with a fabulous, big thank you card and some glorious flower arrangements all made by the kids. Thank you all.
  

And here is the film! Please visit Save the Children to add your support for their G20 campaign.

You may know that last year we created the Music Almighty campaign for Nokia, and part of that involved a Headset Design Competition.

The
aim of the competition was simple: get as many people around the world
designing their perfect Nokia Bluetooth headset inspired by their favourite piece of music. And in return we will make that design into a fully functioning headset that you can keep forever.

The
competition attracted interest from both serious designers and novices
alike, with designers able to download a template and use any tool at their disposal to create their design, or simply use tools from our provided style palette to get creative.

We managed to engage
bloggers all over the world and drive them to the site resulting in thousands of entries.

Luckily
for us, we had managed to secure a panel of expert judges with roots in
music and design to give us a helping hand to pick the lucky five
winning designs.

Last weekend we flew the winning designers in from as far afield as Sao
Paulo and as close by as Essex (well, they didn't fly from Essex) to help put the finishing touches to
their headsets. We spent a fun-filled few days with them in London
before finally revealing the final product to them over a breakfast at
W&K. A really interesting industrial designer from Nokia also
popped by to check out the designs and give us a snapshot into his day
to day job.

Luckily
we get to keep the headsets in the office for a few weeks before the Regent Street
Flagship store snaps them up.
