Onsite workshops

Onsite news and media workshops for secondary schools and colleges in our London Education Centre
We deliver free interactive workshops for secondary schools onsite at our Education Centre. Priority is given to state schools with above average free school meal rates as well as sixth form colleges and Special Educational Needs schools. Sessions are limited and we are only able to accept one workshop request per school each academic year. We advise that you register for a workshop as soon as possible. Interested schools and organisations that do not meet our criteria are welcome to contact us about session fees. We require three accompanying adults for all school visits.

Bookings for spring and summer 2026 workshops will open in late October.

We have a new media literacy outreach project in the Midlands, Greater Manchester and South and West Yorkshire and offer virtual sessions across the UK.

We are launching an exciting new Community News Reporting project. The project is free for qualifying schools in: London (Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Barking and Dagenham) and Greater Manchester (Manchester, Rochdale, Oldham and Salford), and encourages young people to report on issues and events in their local community.

If you can't make it to an onsite workshop, register for a virtual session. These can be streamed live into any classroom in the UK and are 40-80 mins.
