For students aged 11–17
Redruth Library, in collaboration with Kresen Kernow, has been awarded funding by South West Regional Library Service to deliver a series of creative workshops for young people aged 11–17.
This project invites students to pitch an idea for a creative workshop, inspired by the Universal Library Offers and the resources available at Redruth Library. Successful ideas will be developed into real workshops that encourage young people to engage with library services, creativity and heritage.
We’re open to a wide range of workshop ideas — from arts, media, literature and games to life skills, wellbeing, or something entirely new. It could be a chance to try something you’ve never done before, or to develop your existing interests and skills with the support of a creative professional.
