The Foundation Programme is a year-long creative learning journey built around three progressive seasons.
Each season develops a different way of engaging with the world while building upon the previous one.
Season 1: Foundations
Observation
Learn to Observe
How do I pay attention to the world?
Children learn to slow down, notice details and discover that creativity begins with seeing.
Season 2: Material & Form
Agency
Learn to Make
How do I learn through making?
Children investigate ideas through materials, experimentation and prototyping, discovering that ideas evolve through making.
Season 3: Structure & Systems
Participation
Learn to Belong
How do I participate in the world around me?
Children explore collaboration, empathy and collective creativity while understanding the relationship between their ideas and the wider world.
Beyond the Foundation
The Foundation Programme is the beginning of a longer creative journey.
Children who wish to continue can progress into TMM Studio, where they build upon these foundations through increasingly independent investigations, deeper creative practice and growing authorship.
