Shark Documentary & Tote Bag Workshop: Creative Youth Summer Programme

Shark Movie & Tote Bag Workshop

Delivered as part of the Stirling Council Holiday Programme and led by the Creative Stirling Youth Steering Group, this creative and relaxing workshop combines a shark-themed documentary screening with hands-on art activities.

The session begins with lunch provided by The Kitchen at 44, followed by a screening of The Deadly 60: an award winning BBC wildlife documentary series, hosted by naturalist and adventurer Steve Backshall. We will show two episodes which will be focused on sharks, but also other sea life and animals. After the film, participants will take part in some shark themed activities and a creative workshop where they can design and decorate their own shark-inspired tote bag to take home.

This fun session encourages creativity, education about the importance of looking after our oceans and sea life, and self-expression while giving young people the chance to enjoy a film and create a unique piece of artwork inspired by the ocean and its fascinating creatures.

Creative Stirling’s Summer Programme is aimed at children, young people and families living in Mercat Cross, Stirling City Centre and other SIMD priority areas, with priority given to families in Mercat Cross where we have an established presence and strong local relationships. Places will also be offered to children and young people who may face financial, social or practical barriers to participation, including social isolation, caring responsibilities, additional support needs, or limited access to extracurricular opportunities.

Our approach is rooted in dignity, equity and inclusion, ensuring children and families can access support in ways that are welcoming, respectful and responsive to their needs.
