About the Barbican Box
Each Barbican Box is filled with everything students and teachers need to create original and exciting theatre or visual art. Barbican Box schools will become part of Coney’s Playful Secret Agency: an introduction to playful activism in schools built on three principles of play: adventure, curiosity and loveliness. It aims to prompt creative responses to the passion and challenges young people are experiencing - emotional health, resilience, transitioning - empowering them to have an amplified voice and bring about positive change that will affect them and their peers.
The Barbican Box programme is suitable for secondary school teachers to use with any age group in their school, although this year’s Barbican Box has been specifically designed to support the delivery of learning objectives in the KS3 curriculum.
