I Am Festival 2025: 'Make Some Noise'

Описание: This March, we celebrated a decade of our I Am Festival, an inclusive celebration for Deaf, disabled, and neurodivergent young people delivered alongside AFK.We partnered with Young V&A and Tate Modern this year, following our 2025 theme of ‘Make Some Noise’.​

Our I Am network is a growing platform for creative subject teachers in a SEND setting or SENDCo and sims to provide opportunities to share practice, seek advice and develop relationships with others to improve creative and cultural opportunities for children and young people who are Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent. ​
