node56

Creative connections through education and events.


■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■


We are an international social enterprise from the beautiful town of Belper in Derbyshire, U.K. Our mission is to connect though creativity, spark curiosity, ignite passion, inspire innovation and collaborate with people through education and community events.

Why node56? NODE/ is the connecting point of our creative network.
/DE56 is the area code where we connected.

node56 came into contact through youth and community projects delivered at The Drop Inn, a grass roots youth organisation. The company evolved into running community events and projects across the U.K, delivering safe event training in schools and co-developed an alternative education programme for a pupil referral unit (PRU). "Realise everything connects to everything else" ~ Da Vinci

We expanded and started designing educational resources after relocating in China and teaching full-time at international schools. While located in Tbilisi (Georgia) we developed a STEAM curriculum and achieved a NPQH. Our award-winning, creative collective have organised, promoted and produced over 356 events and delivered over 456 projects, making valuable connections though building immersive and inclusive environments. We enjoy branding all of our events and projects, giving each activity a unique identity. "Design is thinking made visual" ~ Saul Bass. The node56 abstract logo is made up of three location pins, rotating in a circle which represents perpetual motion. We are proud of where we came from, travelling keeps our company agile, thriving to learn through exploration. We adapt in different surroundings, continuously r/evolving. We are currently transitioning from local to global projects. Learn to travel and travel to learn - the world is our classroom.
