What you’ll do

Your Art and Design students will get insight into the professional practice of graphic designers as they complete a range of activities inspired by health and medicine. They will work in small groups, proposing concepts and designs, identifying effective language to communicate their message, developing their concepts and pitching their ideas.

Who can come

We have developed this study day for groups of students aged 14 to 19. There is a GCSE version and post-16 version (A level, BTEC, UAL). You can bring 15 to 30 students, accompanied by staff at a ratio of 1:10.

Due to the small scale of our free programme, we take bookings exclusively from schools in the Greater London area until Monday 10th December; after that all schools and colleges are welcome to get in touch.
