Peckham Platform | Learning activities for young people

Young people and children are integral to our work. We see it as their right to be active participants and play an active part in our activities, as the future of Southwark and Peckham.

Embedded in our projects and exhibitions we provide a range of activities for young people and children of all ages to learn, participate and engage with our programme.

Our learning offer currently consists of delivering Art Awards with local schools, Creative Access Programmes (CAPs) and our Youth Platform for young people aged 16-22.

Schools

What we’re building for schools at our new home

A creative space for learning, growth, wellbeing and community, developing a learning programme that places social art at the heart of education – supporting students, teachers, and schools to thrive through imaginative, inclusive experiences.

Arts Awards

We offer schools and students the chance to achieve nationally recognised qualifications through their participation in our creative programmes. From Discover to Bronze level, we support schools and young people to explore the arts, develop new skills, and reflect on their creative journeys. Delivered in partnership with artists and educators, our Arts Award offer is embedded into workshops and long-term projects, giving students a tangible sense of achievement and boosting their confidence and progression in the arts.

We’d love to collaborate – get in touch or find us in Unit AG1, Bussey Building, to meet our team.

“...really good for their mental health... It got us working as a team again.. it was really good to do an activity and realise that you learn as well from making mistakes and that actually you discover something new”

“The curriculum is so fixed and we realised that the process of making is so calming. It was nice to get messy and get our hands dirty.”

“Because we were doing Arts Award it validated us being able to do Art. It legitamised it because we were working with Peckham Platform."

Art always gets cut back and during Covid it really got put on the back burner. This Arts Award meant that we could do it and get a qualification for them as well. It was no longer seen as indulgent and frivolous”

“This is an extra dimension for the students to talk about and it extends their creative ideas. This opportunity to achieve an Arts Award also helps us participate local community art.”
