Activities for children and young people include interactive screenings of films from the Moving Image Archive and workshops for school pupils and families.
We work in partnership with a range of organisations and creative practitioners to deliver exciting, high quality learning experiences.
We also offer learning opportunities for teachers.

Scotland on Screen
Our online learning resource Scotland on Screen contains hundreds of films and clips from our collections to watch, discuss and use as inspiration for your own projects.
The films document over a century of Scottish lives on film, with particular reference to social, economic and environmental change.
Each film is accompanied by suggested activities for before and after watching, as well as links to other relevant films and videos. The film material has been selected and described for its relevance to the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence.
Scotland on Screen was created in partnership with Creative Scotland and Education Scotland.
