Visionary youngsters from six secondary schools met to work on a project which has an international flavour.

Youngsters from Laisterdyke, Buttershaw, Nab Wood, Queensbury, Buttershaw and Bingley Grammar school revealed artistic prowess during filming at Manningham's Cartwright Hall.

They came together as part of pioneering project "In Your Shoes".

It aims to use the Arts and enterprise to bring pupils from diverse areas of the city together alongside peers from the Mirpur region of Pakistan.

Project co-ordinator, Laisterdyke teacher Gerard Liston, said a trip to the country by Bradford teachers had spurred them on to develop greater links.

Youngsters from the six Bradford schools and two in Mirpur: The City School and Crescent Model College, are now working on a film which will illustrate the similarities they share as well as differences they can learn from.

Thanks to funding of £10,000 from the Local Enterprise Growth Initiative and the Children's University, video cameras have been sent to the Pakistan schools to allow pupils to record daily lives.

This will be spliced with film recorded in Bradford to create a unique movie. Mr Liston said: "We want a kid in Mirpur to be able to see what its like to be a kid in Bingley. Certainly young people from Bradford can learn a lot from their peers in Pakistan. We were astonished by their determination to succeed and their commitment to their studies."

The Bradford pupils were split into groups and filmed making giant shoes to illustrate the theme of the project. Youngsters also spoke about their lives at school in the city.

The scheme has been supported by Bradford's Children's University and Education Bradford's School Linking Project.

Sophia Khan, Children's University co-ordinator, said: "It's a unique, socially inclusive project."

Youngsters from Bradford and Mirpur have also put together their own web-logs and designed posters.

Yolande Armstrong, project co-ordinator of Education Bradford's School Linking Project, said: "Children from different communities do not always get the chance to meet."

The film will receive its world premiere at the National Media Museum's Pictureville Cinema on Friday, July 13, at 4pm. Pupils, parents and teachers will be invited. Mr Liston said: "Our intention is to develop the links and eventually see both pupils and staff meet on exchange trips."
