From the POWWOW to New Mexico, from Wales to Nottingham to Cornwall to Wiltshire the Residential experience has been crucial since Kandu’s earliest Days. Working, living, playing, eating alongside others in an unfamiliar (often rural) environment gives a huge opportunity to build empathy and understanding for the self and others.

Through games, outdoor and indoor activities, art, conversations, films, music and sport the Kandu Residentials are a vital part of the year and, as many have reported, give a launching point for change in individuals’ sense of possibility and actuality.  We take diverse groups away and create peaceful, creative environments with young people and their mentors all working together to design future projects, film, budget, cook and team build.
