The Arts Excite C.I.C Presents

Slough Culture Revival Fund: Taster workshops in Photography for young people.

Inspire Creativity. Build Confidence. Capture the World.

The Arts Excite C.I.C is proud to deliver an exciting photography project for young people across Slough as part of the Slough Cultural Revival Fund. This initiative is designed to introduce students to the art of photography through hands-on, engaging workshops that develop both technical skills and creative expression.

About the Project

This project offers students in secondary schools across Slough the chance to explore photography in a fun, supportive, and educational environment. Through free taster sessions held during lunch breaks or after school, students can get a feel for what it's like to be behind the lens—whether using smartphones or digital cameras.

The sessions are run by experienced photography facilitators and include:

• Basic camera techniques

• Creative storytelling through images

• Composition and lighting

• Inspiring photo challenges

• Real-world photography examples

Students who enjoy the taster session will be invited to join a regular after-school photography club, where they can further develop their skills and work towards showcasing their best work in a community exhibition later in the year.

How It Works for Schools

We’re currently inviting Slough secondary schools to host an assembly presentation, where our team will introduce the project and invite students to sign up for the free taster session.

• Assembly presentation: 5–10 minutes

• Taster workshop: Lunchtime or after-school (flexible)

• After-school club: Weekly sessions for selected students

• All sessions are free to schools and students

• All facilitators are DBS-checked and fully insured

Our aim is to complement your school’s enrichment offering and give students an outlet for creativity and self-expression outside of the classroom.

Why Photography?

Photography is more than just taking pictures—it helps young people:

• Develop confidence and creativity

• Improve focus and attention to detail

• Build visual literacy and storytelling skills

Gain a greater appreciation of their local environment and community

Get Involved

Please note we are only able to offer this to 8 secondary schools in Slough and this will be done on a first come first serve basis so we would encourage you to make contact so we can book you in as soon as possible to avoid disappointment as we would love to bring this opportunity to your students.
