Kids’ Own works nationally across schools, communities, libraries, early years settings, and other cultural contexts, creating ambitious collaborative projects that foreground children’s voices, creativity, and agency.
Applications are welcome from practitioners at all career stages. Mentoring and support will be available for early-career artists and for practitioners who are new to collaborative practice with children and young people.
