Learning Young people
Ardagh Young Creatives Workshops
Are you aged 14 – 16 and interested in design?
You can attend one or all of our upcoming workshops, which will introduce various fields of design and creative careers.
Hear from professionals about their careers and roles in design, learn new skills, experiment and practice within a small group.
You can sign up for one or all workshops for free by Tuesday 29 July by completing the form using the links below.
We believe the design world isn't as diverse as it could be and we want to make a positive change. We welcome young people of colour, those with a neurodivergence or disability, those who access free school meal or pupil premium (or have done in the past), young carers, those who have carer experiences or are care leavers, and those who identify with a marginalised group.
Get into design! Join this workshop to explore the foundations of design with interactive activities and access to the museum spaces.
Learn the basics of visual communication. Join this workshop with designers Alina Mendoza Lopez from the communications agency Templo to explore how research and information can be beautiful.
Say it with your chest! Join this workshop to discover the power of fashion and textiles to communicate your ideas, led by Trash Gxng.
Join this workshop to discover the skills, programmes and techniques used to build digital worlds from URL to IRL and back again, led by Ricebox Studio.
