Look and Learn

We have raised over £10,000 through online crowdfunding and direct donations to begin our programme and start teaching in the Summer term in April. Our self-funding budget will go towards the start-up and running costs of producing class materials, teaching sessions and conducting fieldtrips with artists. The funds we are able to raise will also allow us to apply for and request match funding from education and arts charities who we are in contact with so that we can develop the programme through the winter and spring terms to 2014.

Over the one year period (April 2013 - March 2014) we will reach over 2000 children through 80 classroom and artist sessions. An equivalent cost-per-head for each child's participation in our budget is just £13.63!

Olympus Cameras have kindly priovided cameras and other organisations are talking to us offering knowledge and support.

Included in this project costs that we seek funding for on Indiegogo are the necessary finances for day trips to exhibitions and being able to invite a visiting artist to meet and present their work to each class.

We are calling on all photography aficionados, Foto8 supporters - both the new and the die-hards, parents with children at Primary Schools, educators and academics who understand the value of creative learning, and everyone who can to show us their support to help us give the next generation of photographers and art appreciators, a fun, creative method of teaching and achieving their education.

Please share and promote this initiative and thank you for your valuable support.
