Frontrunners 21
In Frontrunners 21, starting in 25th August 2025, we will reform our pedagogical approach to focus on 4x Core Topic. These will be divided into two groups: the first 16 weeks will cover Organisation and Adventure, where students must choose one core topic from 25th August to 19th December. The next 16 weeks, beginning in 5th January to 15th May 2026, will focus on Media and Arts, with students selecting one core topic from these as well.
From 25th August to 15th May, there will be general subjects where all students will come together to learn about various topics focusing on education, teamwork, and the complexities of Deaf identity. Topics will include Deaf communities, Deaf spaces, sign language, Deaf history, and Deaf business.
Our program offers a balanced and engaging weekly schedule, designed to maximise focus
and personal development. Each week is divided as follows:
-
2.5 Days: Focused on your core topic, providing in-depth learning and practical experience.
-
1 Day: Dedicated to Holistic Wellness & Sports, ensuring physical and mental well-being.
-
1 Day: Reserved for general topics, allowing participants to explore new areas and broaden their skills.
This structure ensures a comprehensive and enriching experience throughout the program.
There will be various week-long themes, a 24 and 48 hours Filming Challenge, and a study trip, where all students will participate to maximise their learning from one another.

We will have two core topics in each module. You will need to choose one to focus on and study in-depth during the module. However, there will be workshops held during evening activities, allowing you to learn about the other core topic from your fellow students.
If you are doing Module 1+2 and choose Adventure from 25th August to 19th December 2025, followed by Media from 5th January to 18th May 2026, your example schedule would look like this:
Example Week Schedule:
Left Timetable: Activities during Module 1
Right Timetable: Activities during Module 2
The schedule - Module 1 on November 2025 is an example for the students of FR21, showing when they will be split into two different classes or locations depending on their choice.
If you see two circles (Blue and Green), this indicates a split. If you see a black circle, it means the entire group is together, which could be for activities such as Deaf Studies, study trips, team building, filming challenge, Winter bath, or visiting places like the Lego House.
This schedule is fixed from August to May as a typical week in Frontrunners. However, it may change depending on projects, guest teachers, study trips, and other factors.

What?
The program’s curriculum unfolds through thematic modules, hands-on projects, and creative exploration, culminating in a final interdisciplinary group project. You’ll be immersed in a variety of art forms, including visual arts, performing arts, and digital arts, with a focus on Deaf-centered art and perspectives from the Deaf community. Throughout the program, you will experiment with new approaches, gain a deeper understanding of art’s role in society, and discover how different creative practices intersect and collaborate.
Why?
Art is a dynamic and evolving concept, shaped by its creators, audiences, and the world it exists in. What art means to one person may be entirely different for another, and that’s part of its beauty. Art is a form of expression, a tool for connection, and a reflection of society. Not only can art inspire, challenge, and educate, but it also has the power to transform spaces and bring communities together. Through art, discover new perspectives within yourself and in the world around you, and share these insights with others, sparking conversations and inspiring change.
Who?
This program is for anyone eager to explore the arts—whether you're just starting out, looking to enhance your skills, or seeking to collaborate creatively with others. It's perfect for those interested in self-expression, visual communication, and understanding the intersection of art and Deaf culture.

Teaching, experimenting, and practicing are at the heart of the program, complemented by a study trip and various excursions designed to inspire. These excursions will provide opportunities for students to explore new environments, gain creative insights, and connect with diverse perspectives, enriching their learning experience.
