What We Do
Participant Work
Below is some of our participant's work. We encourage responses of all kinds to the discussions that take place during our courses.
​
We are delighted that one of our recent participants has been recognised with a Gold Award for their fiction writing in the 2024 Koestler Awards. Koestler Arts highlight the creative potential of people in the criminal justice system, in part through their annual awards. A full list of award winners can be found on their website here.
​
One favourite philosophical puzzle is ‘Trigger’s Broom’:
​
In one prison the prison officer was as absorbed in the puzzle as everyone else in the room. But he happened to have a contact with Roger Lloyd-Pack the (sadly now deceased) actor who played Trigger, and came to the closing ceremony with Trigger’s Broom! Inscribed on the broom is this: ‘this is, and always has been, MY BROOM. Trigger’.
