Education programme: states of being
Our unique education programme 'States of Being', created in collaboration with education specialists, Learning Everywhere (CIC), explores the roles of being not doing. Being an Author, Artist, Scientist, or Musician - not doing English, Art, Science or Music.
Explore the fantastical world of Meridia through learning guides designed for Key Stage 1, 2 & 3. At the world’s first Amazement Park®, students will engage in hands-on learning that combines fun, imagination, and education.
