MAKE A VR 360 VIDEO
This summer the Falkirk Wheel will host exciting opportunities to explore climate action, virtual reality and music with Produced Moon and Brownbear's Matt Hickman. Be part of a project exploring our canal through immersive technologies. Open to young people (12-16) and adults.
CREATE SIGNS AND SCULPTURE
Find us all over Falkirk offering the chance to make a public statement about the place you live in with your own lazercut or hand painted traditional sign. What will your sign say about the places you live in and love to visit? Sessions for groups with Johnathan Elder can be delivered to groups in Camelon and across Falkirk and the signs will be exhibited to celebrate your talent and civic pride.
Join us for other sculptural making opportunities inspired by Loch 16's IRN Bru factory, imagining its future with Camelon's own Lewis Bissett.
Explore active travel and access
How accessible is the Canal and surrounding areas, and how confident are you cycling, walking or even boating around the area. Our active travel project can support groups and individuals to assess their local hubs and routes around the area, testing forms of travel and auditing the environment so we can recommend practical changes to make the area more welcoming and inclusive. Whether you are looking to find the best route between you and your workplace, want to explore a new means of transport or just care about your neighbourhood and want to see improvements with some practical skills on what to look out for, we’d like to connect you with Joanne Boyle, local photographer and inclusive active travel facilitator.
get involved in environmental public art
Innovateur Rural are leading on our collaboration with Keep Scotland Beautiful's Canal College and other local partners to get people in Falkirk hands on building a creative arts map for the area that puts environmental arts at the heart of the canal-side communities. Using recycled materials, lead artist Sarah Frood and lots of talented local people are building engagement quite literally in the community as well as creating a Sustrans supported creative commission for the Falkirk Wheel as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations.
