Play Space

Play Space is an after school creative programme, designed so that children learn about healthy lifestyles, exploring the theme through physical games, dance and sport.  It incorporates creative learning where children have the opportunity to create menus, aprons and bags, as well as making healthy, irresistible meals and smoothies.  The project seeks to promote a greater understanding of how a healthy diet and exercise can contribute to overall well-being and as such empowers children to make their own informed choices.

The project is run by professional artists and uses drawing, movement, dance, music, animation and sculpture to explore concepts of healthy eating and healthy active lifestyles for children aged from 7 to 11 (Key Stage 2) and those between 11 and 14 (Key Stage 3).

The project runs in primary schools, secondary schools and community centres across Westminster.
