IDEA Studio Involve in Design, Empower with Action Welcome to IDEA Studio, based in the vibrant Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, London! We believe Art is for All and offer dynamic, inclusive art and design experiences for young creators. But we’re more than just technical skills—our programs empower children with design thinking, foster creativity, and nurture a sense of global citizenship. Through our after-school clubs, holiday camps, local and international community projects, we embrace a participatory approach that actively involves children in designing and creating solutions that matter. From building service trips to co-creating with local communities in London, Hong Kong, Cambodia, India, and Nepal, we ensure every project inspires connection, empathy, and meaningful impact. With IDEA Studio, young minds don’t just learn—they innovate, collaborate, and transform the world. ​ Talk to us at: enquiry@ideaproject.design
