exploring possibility through creativity and culture
A free, experimental learning programme created with and for young people aged 15 - 21
18th - 22 August 2025
Each year we choose a topic that we feel is important and relevant to young people's lives and the world we live in but is lacking in mainstream education, whilst also experimenting with the creation of an inclusive, community centred and liberatory learning space that seeks to challenge the often oppressive approach of mainstream schooling.
This year we will focus on exploring the power of our voices, asking the questions:
-
Why are young people's voices often silences and ignored?
-
What tools can we use to express ourselves and make our voices heard?
-
How can we use our voices to build a more caring, connected and just world?
These are some of the questions that we, The Culture Collective have been asking ourselves for the past few months. In response to our explorations, we've created The Other~Wise Summer School, a free programme of creative workshops, cultural activities and critical conversations designed and led by us for our peers.
Join us on this exciting journey to re-imagine our education, be inspired, and open our minds to new possibilities...
