CREATIVE LEARNING

We want to fire children and young people’s imaginations, fuel their curiosity, develop their creativity and increase their cultural capital.  Drawing on 1927’s unique combination of skills in illustration, claymation, animation, storytelling and music we seek to offer invigorating and accessible participatory activities for young people that encourage them to share their world-view and tell their stories through illustration, craft and animation. 

Our ambition is to inspire our young collaborators to enjoy, learn, develop hard skills, increase confidence, feel empowered and vitally to reflect, think, dream and be creative.
