Information for Teachers, Schools & Parents
Create4Adelaide is a year-long, participative project created by, with and for young people. It delves into important issues confronting young people in South Australia and beyond, asking them to explore the issues, solutions and more through an artistic lens across art forms.
The 2023-2024 Create4Adelaide initiative invited young people to respond creatively to climate change, particularly three priorities chosen by young people: extinction of animals and plants, extreme weather events, such as floods and bushfires, and pollution of our air and waterways. The project included workshops and other creative engagement opportunities based on these themes and across artforms, culminating in an exhibition as part of the 2024 Adelaide Festival.
The 2024-2025 iteration of Create4Adelaide will begin in Term 2, 2024. More information will be made available soon.
