In 2023 Tori took to the streets of Kolkata, India to deliver LEGO animation workshops for Children living in povity and slums.
With the ultimate gratitude to The LEGO Foundation, James J Norwood and David Pallash Tori was able to deliver over 50kg of LEGO to young people from the streets and slums at Future Hope, Kolkata- INDIA.
Before Tori arrived, these young people had never seen LEGO before. They had never put two bricks together and didn’t know what it was. They had never animated or used a tablet.
BY the end of Tori's first day at Future Hope, the young people were already becoming master builders- and by the end of the 3rd day, they were animating the incredible creations, stories and characters they had built.
Example of LEGO Video Workshop Tori has made for the children at the Bristol Royal Children's hospital.2021
children can access the video during their hospital stay over the Christmas holidays. It's a workshop activity they can do from their bedside, alone or with family & staff.
