Learn with us
UNBOXED: Creativity in the UK is presenting a UK-wide learning programme throughout 2022. This page is your gateway to hundreds of lesson plans, workshops, school trips and other learning resources inspired by the 10 remarkable projects in our year of creativity. All of these learning resources are absolutely free.
UNBOXED’s learning resources are designed for young people, aged 4-19, in schools and alternative learning settings in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales, and for anyone who works within them.
All our learning resources have been developed by educational experts working with the teams behind our 10 UNBOXED projects. Each resource includes details of its connections to the English, Northern Irish, Scottish and Welsh school curricula, along with age guidance and other key information.
We are continually adding to the collection of UNBOXED learning opportunities. Keep checking back to see what’s new and download our digital planner to show how you can use these resources in the classroom each month.

The UNBOXED learning resources fall into four main categories:
Trips, visits & in-person activities
