Save the date! bOing! Festival is returning this summer for a weekend of performance and creativity for all ages. Come along and celebrate summer in style! 🩷
Announcement time! 😁 We’re about to reveal some super exciting projects that we will be running over the next few months! One is still TBA and the other is this wonderful lil collab with the University of Kent!
We’re buzzing to be collaborating with @unikentlive@kenticci@thegulbenkian to launch a Youth Radio Project for 15-19 year olds who identify as FLINTA (Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-Binary, Trans and Agender) this summer 🌞📻
If you are (or know someone who might be) interested please check out the Gulbenkian website page (link in our bio) to find out more details and sign up!
You’ll learn how to:
• use microphones and recording equipment
• plan and present a radio show
• choose music and structure a broadcast
• learn and practice interview skills
And have loads of fun doing it!
The four workshops are free but we ask that you are committed to all four.
The radio show will be broadcast on local FLINTA radio station Red Rebel FM
PLUS you’ll have the option of being part of Red Rebel FM’s youth radio hub @boingfestival in August interviewing artists and attendees!
No experience necessary - just curiosity, creativity and an interest in radio, music or storytelling!
SIGN UP NOW! 🤩🤩
✨Hands down, @boingfestival is THE ultimate family day out in Canterbury! ✨
Think theatre, art, crafts, music, dance, sport, acrobatics, AND coding — all in one place. 🎭🎨🎶🤸♂️💻
So many activities are FREE 🙌 (yes, free!), and honestly, we could’ve spent the whole weekend exploring and still not seen it all. There’s truly something for everyone — little kids, big kids, and us grown-ups too. 💕
Already counting down to next year! ⏳ Drop a comment if you want my top tips & recommendations for making the most of it. 👇
