Hello!
We are Make Space UK, a community interest company that is passionate about creativity. Not only that, we are especially keen to make sure children and young people get a chance to develop their creativity and gain confidence in their ability to think and work creatively.
We recognise that art and the art subjects are sadly being squeezed out of the curriculum in favour of core subjects such as English, Maths and STEM. Whilst this is a recognition of future employment needs, we believe these aren't the only subjects that help the development of well rounded individual thinkers or secure their future career.
Our aim is to help teachers, educational professionals, youth groups and parents support their young people's confidence and creative growth by delivering stop motion animation, live action video and digital art workshops in which young people take the lead.
Our focus is on delivering an immersive learning experience for students by creating another dimension in learning which can run alongside the current learning needs to make any subject come alive!
