Submit a youth workshop proposal

The Call for Participation closed for most proposals on Thursday 25th April.

You can still submit proposals for lightning talks or installations.

As well as our sponsored crèche, the EMF team also organise a range of workshops for children aged 12 and under in a separate workshop tent.

We are looking for activities that will appeal to our younger audience and encourage them to play, experiment and create.

In the past, workshops have included programming Lego robots, making UV torches, bridge building competitions, pom pom making, storytelling, and geocaching.

We’d also love to hear from you if you have an idea for an installation that would be suitable for our younger attendees - giant DIY marble runs, interactive inflatable tentacles, giant colouring books, anything goes! If you have an idea for an installation please email youth@emfcamp.org.

Practical considerations

  • All children will be accompanied by an adult during workshops.
  • The workshop tent can hold a maximum of 30 people per workshop, including accompanying adults.
  • Youth workshops are generally one to two hours long, but can vary.
  • Workshop attendance is operated on a first-come-first-served basis.
  • The tent comes equipped with tables, chairs, screen, and PA system.
  • The Youth team are available to provide advice & assistance both before the festival and at any time during the event.
Your details

Please log in if you've already bought a ticket (or had one transferred to you). We will use this address for any questions about your proposal.

About your youth workshop

The title and description of your youth workshop will be made public. You'll be able to tweak these later, but please provide as much detail as you can so we can review your submission.

More details

We'll use these details to help us schedule your youth workshop.

Please let us know if you need a sound system or projector, or any other equipment you will not be able to easily bring yourself, such as soldering irons.

If accepted, how much notice do you need? We'll try and give you as much time as we can.

Attendees

If volunteers would help you increase capacity, please say so.

Please ensure you will have enough kits or equipment to go round.

This is not a requirement but please let us know if you have one
We're happy to advise on submissions before they are reviewed. We don't consider lack of experience a problem and we welcome those who haven't given talks before.
Funding

We have some budget to subsidise travel within the UK for those who could not otherwise afford it. We also have some funds available for up-front costs for workshops, for example, to build kits for attendees.
