We design and produce programmes that nurture imaginative and positive thinking through creative collaborations between artists, designers, scientists, environment and health professionals, global NGOs and local communities.
Labs for a reimagined future
We bring young people into dialogue with professionals to explore issues of planetary health that aren’t properly addressed by the school curriculum.
Our labs enable a vital exchange of knowledge and ideas between experts and young people who are most impacted by health inequalities but who don’t typically feel empowered to take positive action around their future.
We develop our labs in close collaboration with secondary schools and through partnerships with higher education institutions, health and environment NGOs that struggle to connect with young people to learn from their lived experience and ideas.
Our labs support secondary schools to embed cross-curricular and creative approaches to learning.
Youth Action
We support young people to talk about the future they want and develop their sense of empowerment to take action on issues that concern them.
We mentor young people to help them set up their own social and environmental action groups in school and to speak on public platforms about their ideas.
We connect the young people we meet to youth campaigns and to other groups of young people who are committed to driving change in different parts of the world.
We are in the process of setting up a youth programme for self-selected individuals who want to further develop their skills as environmentally literate creative thinkers who want to be part of driving change.
This school holiday programme will nurture curiosity and critical thinking about our complex world, connect young people to a range of professionals working in different sectors, and support young people to co-create new artistic work with professional artists for pubic platforms.

Our students feel like they don’t have a voice in the community, that they wouldn’t be listened to. We want to change this, to give our pupils a platform for their views and opinions and teach them the tools to do this successfully. Projects like this help us do that.
