How AWANetwork CIC transforms digital arts education and community spaces into launchpads for the next generation
AWANetwork CIC operates at the unique intersection of a premium creative studio and a dedicated social enterprise.
We use the power of animation, digital storytelling, and inclusive sporting initiatives to bridge the digital skills gap for underrepresented youth.
By partnering with local councils, schools, and funding bodies, we build safe, inspiring spaces where young people discover creative career pathways, build resilience, and develop key life skills.
Our Creative Festivals framework delivers dynamic pop-up art showcases, local community film screenings, and comic expositions designed to bridge cultural storytelling with digital design to celebrate community identity, amplify diverse visual artists, and inspire local youth learners.
We hold an annual animation/film festival and community showcases. EXPLORE
