Education

An exciting series of events, publications and workshops have been organised to make the Triennial experience a fun and illuminating one. This is a wonderful opportunity for young people to discover more about contemporary art; to engage in discussion and practical projects inspired by the artworks and to develop their own ideas.

Opportunities include:-

• The downloadable Folkestone Triennial Learning and Resource pack. Contains information about the artists; suggestions for curriculum related projects and art and design activities for all Key Stages. These explore six themes which emerge from the 22 artists' commissions. Some projects can be followed up as holiday activities and/or course work

• The Young People's Guide to the Folkestone Triennial: a FREE lively, witty illustrated booklet for 5-12 year olds, in which Sammy the Seagull takes the young visitor on a tour of the Triennial - with helpful comments from a seagull's eye view, plus a quiz, some great puns, fun and games and room for drawing. Available from the Visitor Centre

• Schools and Group visits: to guarantee an enjoyable visit we strongly advise that you book a timed slot. If you would like to book a slot or find out more about the great coach rates for Kent schools please or call 0845 2020190
• Folkestone Triennial Audio Guide: a MP3 audio guide for those wishing to explore the Triennial in their own time, but have access to information as they wander. The audio guide features an introduction to each art work, some background information and directions for your journey through the Triennial's tales of time and space.
