Educational Projects
Examples from a range of educational projects and design work undertaken for educational institutions or within a creative learning environment. Many of these design projects were produced and developed with the learners taking a central role in the works production. Other work has explored how traditional design such as theatre programmes can be used to expand upon a work and bring extra educational material to a performance.
