A creative approach to British Values
' Exploring British Values through Creativity and the Arts' is a programme of workshops that incorporates a mix of creative activities including games, dance, storytelling, drama and arts to explore British Values. Choose from individual sessions based around the themes of Individual Liberty, Respect & Tolerance, Equality & Discrimination or Democracy.
Our tutors are experienced in using the arts to explore complex ideas in an age-appropriate and engaging way. The workshops will help bring the topic to life for your pupils, providing a memorable experience to help support your school to embed these values in to your culture.
Carnival Music and Dance
Carnival provides the perfect medium to explore South American and Caribbean culture in its many forms. Full of colour, energy and sound, the children will have the opportunity to learn some incredible moves and rhythms and develop their very own carnival procession!
We offer a number of workshops for you to choose from under this theme including Carnival Dance, Samba Drumming and Carnival Arts. Please get in touch for details.
" The tutor brought out the best in our children and it was so wonderful to see their joy! Also the joy on the faces of our parents watching their children and during our carnival procession time was so special. We will definitely use World Jungle again - just amazing!"

African Drumming - Experience a taste of African culture through music in this fun and interactive workshop where participants will have the opportunity to play a traditional West African piece of music using Djembe Drums. Through learning different drum beats, the workshop improves co-ordination and motor skills, develops listening skills and concentration, promotes working together as part of a group, improves confidence through performing, and encourages creativity and self-expression.
African Dance - These fun, energetic and lively workshops also educate participants about the meanings of the dances promoting a deeper understanding of the rich culture of the African people. Participants will learn how to respond to the African rhythms that accompany the dances by clapping and singing the rhythmic patterns.
World Rhythm
These workshops offer an introduction to rhythms and drumming from various world music traditions. Available as a single one off workshop or as longer term projects, participants learn about Indian, West African & Middle Eastern / Arabic drumming and associated rhythms.
