Folkestone Youth Project - Natural Curiosity

 

Natural curiosity - we want to establish natural science sessions where young people will learn to look closely at the environment around them and learn amazing things that can be done with nature such as dying fabrics and producing art. It will also encourage young people to take part in science based activities and compliments our other work onsite.

 

To add a new activity to our current opportunities for young people aged 10 -20 years. Young people will use Our Urban Wilderness space to look at natural science and nature. We aim to ignite an interest in both and to use these sessions as a basis for supporting young people. Young people will use the plants they have grown and find onsite and do science based activities such as using microscopes to look closely at structure or producing plants for natural dying. They can also produce artworks influenced by their investigations which we would like to exhibit to the local community.
