Community Workshops

Young Animators Club are working with adults across Folkestone, Hythe & Romney Marsh as part of Operation Wildflower. Our participants are making films to help educate their communities about the importance of our native Wildflowers whilst learning animation, film and photography skills.

This workshop was sponsored by Grow Wild, a Kew Gardens project

New Romney: The Power of the Dandelion

Today Young Animators Club spent the day working with participants from Shepway Community Support Services.

The participants made films about Dandelions to encourage their community to consider the importance of this humble 'weed'.

All the illustrations and animations on this page were created by adults from Shepway Community Support.

A weed or not a weed?

How do Dandelions help our Bees?

How do the Bees help us?

This film was animated by members of Shepway Community Support Services and Children from Saltwood Primary School. Listen to the children discuss how Dandelions help the Bees and how the Bees help us.

Take the Dandelion test...
