Schools workshops to continue
Although the Animated Exeter festival is not taking place, we are still able to plan exciting workshops with you for your students.
Animation in the Classroom for the whole class (or less) can enrich the curriculum or breakout with something completely different -e.g. BBC's Ten Pieces project
CPD for staff interested in developing animation in the classroom.
Specialist workshops for budding young animators aged 14+ have an emphasis on higher education and careers.
