Education2Realisation (Ed2R)

Educate, share knowledge, acknowledge educational and artistic achievements and promote community cohesion

We set up Ed2R to make a lasting change for children, young people and families with regards to education, mental health, art and cultural history.

Cultural awareness and identity are the foundation of communication and understanding different backgrounds and cultures.  

We support young people in exploring their creativity through art workshops and an annual arts award ceremony as well as helping them develop their educational skills. 

Activities

• Science, English and Maths tutoring - feedback from learners:  "The tutoring that Education2Realisation does is really helpful and I think that I will have good grades at the end of the year.  The one-to-one teaching is different than in school and helps with specific areas in a subject."  "If I am not fully 100% sure about something I am taught in class, it is easier to understand when it is one-to-one."

• Annual 'CPD Arts Award Ceremony' - Saturday 27 September 2025, 6.30pm at Flixton House.  The award ceremony will be attended by people from Trafford and surrounding areas.  Feedback from one young person last year: "I think the art competition is a great thing because I can be creative with my drawings.  There are so many awards handed out and it feels great to win one."

• Art exhibition - Saturday 9 August 2025, Stretford Mall, 10.00am-6.00pm.

•  Art competition - Saturday 19 July 2025 (Stretford Library) and Saturday 26 July 2025 (Old Trafford Library) - an opportunity to recognise, celebrate and showcase creativity through the artwork of children and young people 18 years and under.  

• Free Art workshops - 21 June and 5 July 2025, Stretford Mall, 11.00am-4.00pm.  Art facilitators delivered art demonstrations.  Children explored their creativity using various art materials and techniques e.g. watercolours, splattering and pointillism.  There was also an arts quiz.  The workshops were attended by children, and young people 18 years and under as well as their parents and guardians.  

Tutoring plays a vital role in supporting learners to achieve their educational goals.  Our tutors work with children, young people and adults - Literacy skills, Numeracy skills, English, Maths and Science.    

  Art is good for you!   

Art activities provide participants with a voice - bring people from diverse backgrounds together, an opportunity to engage with their peers, meet new people, share ideas, experiences, cultural awareness, community cohesion and a sense of belonging. 

Art helps individuals to express themselves and cope with their emotions.  

Artwork displayed - improves quality of life and makes people feel good and more connected to their community.

Celebrate local talent and exhibit artwork at local spaces within Trafford and surrounding areas - Stretford Mall, Stretford Library, Sale Library, Old Trafford library, Trafford Local Studies, Flixton House, Bright Building/MSP, Limelight (Old Trafford).
