Education and learning are at the heart of the De La Warr Pavilion. The world class programme and unique spaces provide inspiration for a wide range of projects and activities for people of all ages.
Our Education Programme aims to enable people to realise their creative potential, and enhance people's ability to engage with contemporary art at all levels - as audience, commentator and participant.
DLWP is committed to developing a broad and diverse audience, and many events are free, or offered at minimal cost.
The new Studio is now the hub of our education and community programme, providing a flexible, welcoming space for talks, courses, rehearsals and hands-on practical workshops.

As well as providing its own core programme, the De La Warr Pavilion supports a variety of different projects locally and regionally.
We are currently supporting two exciting initiatives with young people:
• 100 Kids / 100 Questions, with Scapegoat Schools
• Rother Special News, with Sound Architects
Rother Special News Report
Tuesday 15 July 2008
7.00pm
Funded by the Heritage Lottery and supported by National Trust, Rother District Council, Battle Abbey School and Kent & East Sussex Railway; Robertsbridge Community College and Bexhill High School have combined to create two 20-minute drama-documentaries on the history and heritage of their towns.
The schools both chose the eras they wished to study, concentrated on those events and people that influenced the shaping of their town and surrounding area.
All the elements of the project have been conceived and executed by the students (10 from each school), who received training in all aspects of filmmaking from the charity Sound Architect (Music & Film) Ltd.
The Premier of the students‘ films, both entitled the ‘Rother Special News Report‘, will be on Tuesday 15 July at 7.00 pm at the De La Warr Pavilion in Bexhill. There will be an exhibition of their work to accompany the screening.
For more information please contact Sound Architect on 07592 021590.
100 Kids/ 100 Questions
Thursday 17 July 2008
Open to the public from 12-4 pm
Free entry
Children‘s Drama Therapy Company Scapegoat Schools are hosting an exciting Youth Arts Exhibition and Youth Conference at The De La Warr Pavilion. The one day event is supported and funded by the Arts Council and the De La Warr Pavilion and aims to put teenager‘s views and opinions squarely on the map!!
Scapegoat Schools have worked with a group of teenagers to develop an anonymous research questionnaire for children between the ages of 13 and 18, which asks them to provide answers to 100 questions, ranging in topics from Education, Family, Sex, Drugs, Politics, Personal Development, Religion and Bullying to name but a few. Company Director, Toni Brown says “What I want is to facilitate an honest and authentic voice for children on issues which are relevant to them today and engaging children with the Arts is therapeutic and extremely beneficial to their personal development.”
The questionnaires have been circulated to teenagers nationwide and the responses have been in turn, shocking, touching, personal, painful and sometimes absolutely hilarious!!!
Now these answers have been collated and given to local students right here in Sussex who have produced creative responses to their peers‘ answers. This includes drama, dance, music, photography, film, art work, sculpture and woodwork. Four of our local secondary schools have participated in the project as well as Hastings College and several youth groups.
All of the teenagers‘ creative work will be showcased publicly at The De La Warr Pavilion in July and the event will also stage a mini Youth Conference, lead by professionals and inviting students to comment on the issues and the creative work that has been devised. Through this exhibition and debate we hope to enable a forum where our children can express themselves creatively and also have a very real voice on issues that matter to them.
