WD Wright & MacDonald/Green Awards:
An Educational Exercise

Bradford University, Yorkshire

Holders of the awards made for 2008 make presentations to describe their work and a panel of experts provide feedback

on these presentations which is aimed to help the awardees.  The ability to describe accurately their work
in a lively and interesting way is seen as a vital talent for the careers that the awardees are likely to persue.
This educational role is seen to be at the heart of the Colour Group's objectives.
