Arts in Education Projects

Action Factory has a long history of working with young people of all ages. We have strong links with children's centres, primary and secondary schools and colleges for further education. We believe that learning creatively and bringing artists into the classroom not only aids the curriculum but also the memory of that activity will stay with the individual for life. Here are some projects Action Factory has undertaken in education.
