The long-awaited South Ken Kids Festival is back at the Institut français for its 16th edition from 18 to 24 November! But who says the Festival is only for South Ken? Last year, we worked with more than 30 schools all over London, from nursery to secondary, and we’re hoping this number will keep increasing… Our hallmark lies in providing children with unforgettable experiences through:
Workshops with renown artists in their classroom (this year’s line-up includes Nicholas Allan, Marion Billet, Roland Garrigue, Debi Gliori, Mathieu Sapin, Cendrine Wolf & Anne Plichota, and many more)
Events at the Institut français (meetings with the artists, free films screenings…)
A nationwide competition with a chance to win amazing prizes (see form attached). And now that our programme spans over a whole week, you’ll find opportunities galore to treat your pupils to a fun and educational activity... So wait no more, and register now!
Registration Deadlines
Thursday 3 October 2013: Please send us your choice of workshops at schools and/or activities at the Institut français. You can do so by filling out the booking form (one per school) provided for that purpose and send it to Thuy An To at [email protected] This procedure is mandatory as no request will be taken into account if the form isn’t completed.

Option 1: Artists coming to YOUR school!
The artists can visit your school from Monday 18 November to Friday 22 November. They will run 2 workshops per half-day. For example, they can run two workshops in the morning or two workshops in the afternoon.
Each workshop will be limited to 25/30 children.
The artists will be paid directly by the schools in which they are working, in accordance with the tariff for artists of children’s books (£195 (250€) for half-a-day)
If the artists don’t have time to sign their books after the workshop, children can go with their parents to the Institut during the weekend: book signing slots have been pencilled for each artist. You can find the whole book signing programme on our website: http://southkenkidsfestival.co.uk/book-signings/
The artist may need a snack/lunch. If so, schools will be told in advance.
