Pack your bags and bring your explorer's spirit as we set off on an adventure to some of the wildest places on Earth. Imagine what it would be like to step into a world of wild wonder with breathtaking landscapes and fascinating creatures that make our planet so special. Trek through the jungles of the Amazon, explore the icy tundra of Antarctica, journey through the golden deserts of the Sahara, climb the towering peaks of the Himalayas or sail through glorious Galapagos islands and discover a true living laboratory of nature – the world is waiting for you to explore its most hidden corners and incredible places!

Join us for this exciting workshop as we venture across the globe in 4 days, mapping our journey of discovery. Led by Barking Gecko Arts Teaching Artists, young creatives will create their own characters and learn performance and theatre-making skills whilst simultaneously building their confidence and self-expression, all while making fantastic new friendships in a fun, inclusive and nurturing environment.
