Imagine a day 50 years from now. What would it look like?
Welcome to Futureland, a four-year project inspiring Year 8 students in Southwark to reimagine a better future. Over 100 students will be facilitated to bring their ideas to life, raise their confidence and learn how to express themselves through creative play and writing mediums. With access to creatives, illustrators, poets and authors, the students will complete their journey with a final showcase of their vision for a better future in front of their parents and teachers.
