WELCOME!

Hello, and welcome to WE ARE HERE!

This is where to find all the information you’ll need to participate in our nationwide film making project.

There are different activities, ALL FREE, with something to suit every ability level. You’ll get to choose something to take part in, then share your finished work with us. All of your gorgeous creations will be added to our WE ARE HERE film, based on a story by award winning author Liz Flanagan.

We’ll be here to support you and share tips as the project evolves, and we’re hoping that you’ll enjoy chatting to each other and sharing photos of work in progress. The best place to do this is on our private facebook group, the link is just below.

Please note – the NEW DEADLINE for submissions is the 12th OCT

FAQ’s

IS EVERYTHING FREE?

Yes, absolutely. We want this to be accessible to everyone and we’ll be asking you to use recycled materials you can find easily at home, mostly.

CAN ANYONE TAKE PART?

Definitely. The project is open to everyone. Got a cousin in Cornwall who you didn’t get to visit this summer? Send them a link and make something together!

ARE THERE LIMITS TO PARTICIPANT NUMBERS?

The more the merrier! If it looks like we’ve got far too many of one make and not enough of another then we might limit numbers of certain designs, but we’ll let you know on the individual ACTIVITY UNITS if that’s becoming an issue.

DO I NEED SPECIAL EQUIPMENT?

No, hopefully you’ll have all the tools you need at home already. If not, they’ll be easy to get hold of. No fancy camera needed either, simple phone photos or videos are fine.

IS THERE A DEADLINE?

YES, this bit is important! you need to submit your work before 12th OCTOBER 2020 if you want it to be included in the WE ARE HERE film
