FUSEBOX Self-led visit for Key Stage 2

Our FUSEBOX Educational Resource has been designed for teachers and group leaders to support a free self-led visit to Creative Youth’s new venue in Kingston Upon Thames.

It acts as an introduction to the venue as both a heritage site and a contemporary youth-led space. It aims to show how the unique heritage held within FUSEBOX can act as a bridge to further learning about the local history and culture of Kingston and beyond.

Whilst providing clear links to Key Stage 2 History, we encourage an exploration of FUSEBOX through the additional lenses of Citizenship and the Creative Arts.

Research is showing that informal and youth-led settings encourage deeper engagement with Arts and Culture, allowing for learning that is rooted in the worlds of young people anddraws on their lived experience.

FUSEBOX provides a unique space in which these different modes of learning can come together.
