Young makers are often natural entrepreneurs – creative, innovative and visionary. But to fulfil their potential and survive in this economic climate they need help to get started – a space to work, professional skills, connections to people who can help them and outlets to sell their work
We’re excited to be launching a crowdfunding campaign in partnership with the RSA to fund our Student Makers’ Festival and Pop Up shop.
We’ve been given an amazing opportunity- to create a month long Christmas Pop Up Shop and Festival of Youth Enterprise in Folkestone.
The Creative Foundation have offered us a beautiful old arcade building for the whole of December and in partnership with Shepway District Council have also given us support towards a programme of inspirational speakers and hands-on public workshops for local young creatives, schools and youth groups.
