Eastfeast is a team of professional gardeners, artists and teachers that helps schools deliver more effective learning based on working a school allotment through the seasons, culminating in a community feast. We work with students and teachers to develop the outdoor classroom, cultivating shared learning about the world in which we live, through food and art.
Started in 2005 with a year long pilot programme at Aldeburgh Primary School in Suffolk, the Eastfeast project continues to evolve, in partnership with a growing number of schools in East Anglia, through a series of linked but independent creative learning programmes.
Eastfeast offers a model for artist-teacher partnership work enabling the children to express their thoughts and experiences in a range of art forms through the growing cycle of seasons.
Joint professional development of teachers, artists and other creative practitioners, eg gardeners, is a key characteristic.
