Culture Camps

Children will be invited to take part in one of a minimum of twelve Culture Camps across Kent (either in school or with their families depending on whether it is term time or school holidays). The Culture Camp model is built on the good practice of the 2012 legacy programme: Inspire. Each camp will be unique and will offer young people an opportunity to get creative, working directly with professional artists/performers, experience high-quality cultural experiences on their community doorstep and achieve an Arts Award Discover accreditation.

Culture Camps are inclusive and will pop-up in a local primary, secondary school, including SEND, or youth centres (and may also be co-hosted with a cultural venue such a gallery, museum or theatre). We envisage that the project will reach approximately 480 young people (up to 40 at each Culture Camp). Culture Camps will be distributed across the county with the aim of achieving one per district.

For a two-day programme, participants will work with an experienced and inspirational arts organisation to:

• Take part in artist-led creative workshops • Create work and share it with others • Complete Arts Award Discover
