Having recently returned from working in Zambia (Africa), Creative Kids International are about to showcase children�s art work from Zambia and Knowle Park Primary School in an exciting and colourful art exhibition Kids Culture Collaboration at the Grant Bradley Gallery, Bedminster, Bristol.

In Lusaka, Zambia�s capital city, Creative Kids International spent 5 months working with Barefeet Theatre who work with vulnerable street children as well as two local schools. During their time in Zambia Creative Kids International ran regular art workshops at children�s centres and at Ngombe Open Community School; an arts week at Lusaka International Community School; made the visuals and costumes for a colourful and vibrant carnival procession through the streets of Lusaka with over 2000 children; and made the set, props and costumes for the Barefeet Christmas production �Edward Scissorhands: The Story of Snow� which was performed last December at Zambia�s national theatre, The Lusaka Playhouse.

Since returning from Zambia earlier this year Creative Kids International have been running workshops with children in the UK, including an African Arts Week at Knowle Park Primary School in April. Through the arts Creative Kids International are building a link between children in both countries, offering a chance for them to learn about each others countries and cultures, and raising awareness of some of the issues faced by children in Zambia.
