These sessions were also offered to ex-service and currently serving military personnel to capture their personal experiences so that local communities can gain a deeper understanding of the issues that affect service personnel. This helps to break the barriers of social isolation and silence between their own вЂcare homeвЂ™ community and the wider world. We supported individuals to record their experiences of war and to communicate to the wider public areas of their past which often do not have an outlet.

The AfterWARds project report is available as a pdf file here:ДЄfterWARds is an intergenerational creative arts project designed to enhance public understanding of the impact of war on the lives of service personnel.ДЇollowing reminiscence work with veterans, Independent Arts delivered practical workshops to Key Stage Two pupils in five primary schools on the Isle of Wight. Thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of the project. Well, except for the fact that Maisie never gives Joey any of her delicious pastries.The Museum of Island History at the Guildhall in Newport High Street hosted the results of Independent Arts' art and reminiscence project, AfterWARds, from April to May 2016 (see below). Albert takes Joey back to England, marries his sweetheart Maisie Brown, and they live happily ever after.

Sadly, Emilie has died, so Grandpapa gives Joey to Albert. But Emilie's Grandpapa shows up and wins the auction for Joey (yay again!). The war ends (yay) and Joey is put up for auction (boo). Albert nurses Joey back to health in a touching scene deserving of a sepia-colored montage with heart-tugging violin music. There he is reunited with Albert, who has enlisted in the military as a veterinarian. Worst of all for Joey, Topthorn also succumbs after many months in cold, harsh conditions with little food.ДЇinding himself injured and alone, Joey is discovered by the British and taken to their vet tent. Two other horses in their unit, Heinie and Coco, perish, along with Joey's new caretaker, Friedrich. Tasked with pulling a gun, Joey and Topthorn are put into great danger. Unfortunately, before you can say vive la France!, the war returns, and Joey and Topthorn are commissioned once again by the Germans. Emilie is a sickly child, but the horses give her strength and a reason to live. As the front line moves, and casualties decrease, Joey and Topthorn are left with a kind French farmer and his granddaughter, Emilie, who cares deeply for the two horses. Doing his duty, Joey meets Topthorn, a strong black stallion who becomes his best brony. The Germans put Joey to work as a cart-puller, hauling injured soldiers to medic tents for treatment. The British lose the battle, and Warren and Joey are captured by the Germans. Joey longs for Albert as he carries Warren into battle. Warren is a kind, gentle man, but boy does he stink at riding horses. Nicholls perishes in battle, and Joey is transferred to a younger, more inexperienced rider named Trooper Warren. In the army now, Joey is paired up with Captain Nicholls, a cavalry man, and sent to the front lines. Kind hearts don't run in this family, however, and Albert's drunken father sells Joey to the British army to earn money to keep his farm and family alive-and probably to buy a few bottles of booze, too.

On the farm, Joey is broken in (gently) by a kind-hearted young boy named Albert Narracott. In case Bambi wasn't traumatic enough, War Horse opens as our little pony Joey is taken away from his mother and sold to a farm.
