Daisi is a leading arts education charity working throughout Devon, Torbay, and beyond.
Our mission is to create and promote inspiring creative and cultural experiences that enable more children and young people, especially those from vulnerable or disadvantaged backgrounds, to access and enjoy the arts.


Daisi runs an ongoing programme of artist-led workshops in schools, non-formal education settings, and communities. At the heart of all Daisi projects lies partnership, quality, and reflective learning.
Our vision is a world where all young people can develop their full potential through engagement in the creative arts, fostering life skills, self-belief, mental health and wellbeing, community participation, and personal fulfilment.
Daisi in Schools
For Students
By bringing an artist into your school, you offer your learners a window into another world. Artists bring an array of creativity, an inspirational role model, a break in the school’s rhythms of work and the ability to elicit results that the least confident child can share with pride.
There are a range of ways to bring an artist into your school. Follow the links below to find out more.

For Teachers
Daisi offers diverse, creative and engaging teacher development workshops led by experienced and professional artists. These range from full day or twilight sessions for your whole staff team to online programmes for individuals alongside teachers from across Devon and Torbay.
All our Teacher Development programmes support your creative journey as a teacher, empowering you to inspire and nurture creativity in your students. This is balanced with activities and knowledge that enable you to teach the practical skills at the core of the National Curriculum, from the youngest age groups until leaving education.

Whether you’re a parent, carer, educator, artist, or part of a like-minded organisation, we’d love to keep in touch.
