Artists in Residence Schemes
Bringing Creative Practice to Life Within the School Environment
Soundbridge’s Artist-in-Residence schemes place professional creatives into schools to co-create site-specific projects that embed expressive arts across the curriculum, deepen pupil engagement, elevate school identity, and support Welsh Government targets through lasting, curriculum-aligned outcomes.
Community Arts Projects
Connecting Schools and Communities Through Collaborative Creative Practice
Soundbridge’s community arts projects connect pupils with their wider communities through intergenerational storytelling, public installations, and festival partnerships. Learners co-create visual and audio pieces, contribute to collaborative murals and exhibitions in public spaces. Many projects also align with Soundbridge’s founder-led charity initiatives, amplifying social impact. These programmes build civic pride, strengthen school-community relationships, and leave behind lasting artefacts that celebrate local identity.
Digital Arts & Media Literacy
Empowering pupils to create, critique, and share digital content with emotional and ethical awareness.
Soundbridge’s digital arts and media literacy programmes empower pupils to create reflective podcasts, curate visual portfolios, critique media narratives, and explore creative coding—all anchored in storytelling and emotional truth. These experiences meet Welsh targets for digital competence and expressive arts, foster pupil agency in digital spaces, and equip learners with the tools they need for creative careers and safe, confident online expression.
Soundbridge School Radio Stations
School Radio Stations That Amplify Pupil Voice and Curriculum Creativity
Soundbridge provides tailored school radio stations with complete hardware, software, and broadcast infrastructure to fit each school’s space, budget, and curriculum. We support pupils in developing shows, interviews, and music segments, integrate learning across Expressive Arts and Digital Competence, and ensure safe broadcasting through age-appropriate moderation tools.
