Become a FriendRiver of Hope
Artists are invited to apply to deliver a combination of CPD and visual art-based workshops over the next three years 2023-2025
About River of Hope:
River of Hope is an international art and education project which aims to inspire young people through creativity whilst linking to the Geography curriculum at KS2.
Over the period 2023-25 the project will be delivered in 4 UK regions and 2 overseas countries, linking with key cultural events such as Totally Thames, Stockton International Riverside Festival, Tamar Festival and Norfolk & Norwich Festival.
The project seeks to benefit teachers by giving skills and confidence to apply art-based learning to their practice. It provides each school with the opportunity to link with a school in France or Ethiopia, who is also delivering River of Hope in their school. We ask schools to commit to the project for two years with the same teachers in order to provide maximum benefit and legacy.
River of Hope is managed by the Thames Festival Trust in partnership with Norfolk & Norwich Festival.
