Kolkata, May 06: The British Council, the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities, presents ‘Creative Summers for Kids’, a specially curated summer programme for children aged 6–15 years. Taking place from 18-22 May 2026 at the British Council Library in Kolkata, the programme invites young learners to explore a summer of stories and expression.
Designed as an engaging holiday activity, Creative Summers blends reading, storytelling, craft, and interactive sessions to spark imagination, creativity, and confidence among young participants. With activities tailored across age groups, the programme offers a safe and enriching space for children to explore ideas, express themselves, and showcase their creativity.
In line with the British Council’s commitment to promoting reading and creative expression, and as 2026 marks the UK’s National Year of Reading, Creative Summers encourages children to ‘Go All In’ – discovering the joy of stories, imagination, and self-expression in a fun and collaborative environment.
