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.
Kingston RPM; Records, People and Music is the result of a year’s worth of dedicated research and organisation delivered by a core team at Creative Youth.
This toolkit has been predominantly designed for use by KS3 and KS4 teachers and those working in a youth work setting, but should prove interesting reading to anybody with an interest in Kingston-upon-Thames’ rich musical heritage.
This toolkit provides a brief overview of the three key themes uncovered by the Kingston RPM – Records, People & Music project, as well as accompanying curriculum-focused activities to complete with your group.
