FreshAir 2009 will be holding an extensive learning programme for more than 850 school children during the three-week exhibition period. It will include tailored workshops for primary, secondary, disabled and special needs schools.

The goals of the Fresh Air Education programme are:

• Provide a dynamic education venue and exhibition
• Enable collaborations with schools, art centres and art colleges
• Encourage children to make and exhibit work as a result of visiting the FreshAir sculpture show and participating in workshops
• Encourage children to appreciate the arts, and more importantly see themselves as artists and/or collectors
• Provide an opportunity for art students to exhibit in a public forum, meet and discuss their work with children on the education programme and members of the public

The FreshAir 09 education programme will include:

• Schools programme in collaboration with the Brewery Arts Centre, Cirencester
• One Day workshop for the National Star Centre for the Disabled, Cheltenham
• Two Day Farmor's School Workshop for Gifted & Talented children
• Two Day Music/Installation Cross-Disciplinary Workshop
