As a creative learning consultancy, we develop and support projects bringing different people, places and disciplines together to grow, learn, nourish ideas and help solve complex problems.
We draw on practices and expertise of art schools, design-thinking, permaculture, ecology and situated art, education and leadership.
We work with community projects, academic research, knowledge exchange and partnerships, creative residencies, curriculum design, exhibitions, publications, events and festivals. This involves universities, nature reserves, museums & galleries, charities, funding bodies, businesses and online.
Areas of current interest include learning with microbes, climate justice and sustainability curricula, citizen science and art, tools and methods of participatory democracy and complex systems change.
We are based in Yorkshire and South London and work mostly in the UK and Europe.
