Leaving a learning legacy for Croydon’s young people

Local schools and community groups have been invited to take part in Croydon Stands Tall, and will be designing their very own four-foot-tall giraffe sculptures while taking part in a borough-wide Learning Programme.

The sculpture gives an exceptional, creative opportunity to engage pupils in important topics – from environmental issues and the natural world, science, art and so much more. 

After getting creative in the classroom, students will be able see their stunning giraffe masterpiece on the art trail, displayed in venues across Croydon for everyone to admire and enjoy.

After the trail, the giraffe is theirs to keep forever.

In addition to this, education packs have been created in conjunction with HSBC and LSBU, to allow for the project to be embedded into their curriculum.
