Umbrella Project 2021
What is the Umbrella Project?
The Umbrella Project celebrates the intelligence, ability and talent of every human being- including every neurodiverse individual, empowering and enabling the next generation of children and young people.
The Umbrella Project aims to bring this uplifting display to other iconic locations in the UK. We involve local children and their schools have the umbrellas signed and decorated by neurodiverse children stating their gifts, talents and abilities – their super powers. In June 2019, we launched our third annual Umbrella Project with three public art installations, with hundreds of brightly coloured umbrellas suspended above the streets and public spaces, including:
- BBC Media City, Heathrow Airport, British Film Industry South Bank London, Liverpool City Centre and schools, offices, hospitals and retail outlets across the UK.
An exciting development for our 2021 Umbrella Project, is an invitation to over 1000 schools across UK and partner schools across the world to have their own Umbrella Project and display umbrellas suspended from the classroom ceilings and educate their classmates, school governors and local community leaders about their ability, talent and achievements. We already have schools in USA, Australia, Africa, India, Malta and Greece signed up to participate in 2021.
The Benefits for Partners and Sponsors:

We are also calling on small and medium sized local businesses to sponsor Neurodiversity Umbrella Installations in their local schools, libraries and offices.

In 2021 we will be collaborating with English National Opera, The Gene Kelly Legacy, Royal Ballet, BBC and a range of artists and performers to celebrate the contribution of neurodiverse talent in the creative and performing arts industries.
