The Foundry is our hub for experimentation.

We’re looking to find new ways to engage children and young people, so we’ve created this space to pilot new activities and initiatives that progress current practices.

Our recent research and consultations including our COAST Creative Consultation sit at the heart of The Foundry and we’re looking forward to sharing two research reports with you soon!

We are excited to share our COAST Creative Consultation Report with you.

This report shares the findings of a creative consultation with children and young people living in our coastal communities. The report shares children and young people’s experiences of arts and creative opportunities in their lives, their ideas about what could be improved and how the arts and creativity bring benefit to their lives. We think it’s a powerful read. And…there’s a fantastic short film too which encapsulates the ideas expressed in the report.
