This exciting venture, aimed at families with children aged 6 to 12<\/strong>, invites participants to dive into an imaginative, story-filled box. immersing themselves as characters of that story, to solve accompanying challenges and ultimately complete the story. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creative team is placing community involvement at the heart of the process. They\u2019ll be reaching out to local young people to help shape the story\u2019s theme – ensuring that the final experience is inspired by the voices and ideas of the very audience it\u2019s designed for. Then, testing will take place in early August, with the launch happening in October this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chair of Vision Trustees, Martin Solder said:
<\/strong>\u201cWe are absolutely thrilled to be moving forward with Think Outside the Box<\/em>. This is a unique opportunity to combine storytelling, creativity, and family learning in a hands-on, immersive way<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Vision Redbridge, we are constantly looking for innovative ways to engage our communities, and this project is a perfect example of what\u2019s possible when local passion meets national support. By partnering with U Can Too and securing funding from Libraries Connected and Arts Council England, we\u2019re not only bringing a fresh and imaginative experience to Redbridge, but also empowering families to connect, explore, and learn together.\u201d

Isobel Hunter MBE, Chief Executive of Libraries Connected said:<\/strong>
\u201cThink Outside the Box celebrates what libraries are all about: bringing communities together through stories, imagination and creativity. We\u2019re so pleased to support Vision Redbridge in delivering this unique project and can\u2019t wait for the launch in October.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
