Reframe: Inspire Schools
Create a zine with your class as part of our digital creative project
Reframe: Inspire Schools is a creative multimedia project for KS3 pupils in schools Birmingham, London and Manchester.
Aimed at inspiring young people’s interests in different creative fields, the Reframe: Inspire Schools project gets pupils working collaboratively with artist-educators on a digital ‘zine’. They’ll be weaving together poetry, visual art, and digital skills to create their own online publication, supported by Apple technology, and taking their creative brief from the Southbank Centre’s artistic programme.
This project is a unique opportunity for pupils to explore their creativity across different mediums, work with world-class artists, and share their work with performance and exhibition opportunities.
As part of the project, participating teachers receive free Continuing Professional Development (CPD) sessions on taking creative and digital skills into the classroom.
