Project

Get Back to Nature

The Concept

Reimagine Redditch developed the ‘Get Back to Nature’ project in response to parents’ concerns about children spending too much time on screens and not enough time enjoying the outdoors.

We commissioned Itzatna Arts Collective to design and deliver a series of creative workshops and a community event that reconnect children with the natural world through creativity.

In the spring of 2025, Reimagine Redditch started working with the community in Abbeydale, St George’s First School and The Abbeydale Community Centre.

Workshops – Spring 2025

Itzatna Arts took up residency at Endeavour Schools Trust, St George’s First School in Redditch working with pupils to explore the beauty of nature before channelling their inspiration into a range of artistic workshops.

Through drama, storytelling, arts and crafts, pupils immersed themselves in a world where nature takes centre stage, using the outdoors as inspiration for new characters, thrilling adventures, and shared creative experiences.

The children will stage a performance in school for invited guests.

Creative Community Event

People in Redditch swapped screens for the ‘great outdoors’ and got creative at a fun-filled community arts day in March 2025.

The free ‘Get Back to Nature’ event included live theatre, giant puppets, arts, crafts, games and more – all inspired by the River Arrow and Redditch’s iconic kingfisher bird.
