Get ready, Shoreditch, because EE Learn Live is back and bigger than ever! On Thursday, 20th February 2025, White Rabbit will transform into a buzzing hub of creativity, innovation, and, let’s be honest, a bit of celebrity flair. Whether you’re a curious teen or a parent looking to unlock your child’s hidden potential, this interactive festival promises something for everyone.
This year, EE has truly outdone itself with a star-studded lineup. Expect to see Jill Scott MBE, Joe Wicks, Big Zuu, and even the creative minds behind Aardman Animations. For just £5 (which goes to the UK charity Home-Start), you and your teen can immerse yourselves in a two-hour slot packed with workshops, talks, and hands-on experiences that might just change how you see the world.
EE Learn Live: A Unique Half-Term Experience for Teens and Parents
EE Learn Live isn’t just another half-term activity. It’s a festival designed to ignite curiosity, build confidence, and showcase how hobbies can translate into valuable life skills. This year, the event focuses on connecting teens’ passions with practical opportunities for their future.
Teens will meet celebrities, influencers, and thought leaders who know what it’s like to start small and dream big. From learning stop-motion animation with Aardman Animations to hearing how Vikkstar123 and the Sidemen turned gaming into an empire, this festival is anything but boring.
And let’s not forget the parents. A dedicated session will empower guardians to support unconventional paths, offering tools to embrace their children’s unique interests.
Star-Studded Lineup: Headliners Who Know How to Inspire
The main stage lineup is packed with sessions that will leave teens buzzing with inspiration:

Interactive Workshops That Bring Learning to Life
This year, EE Learn Live ups the ante with hands-on workshops. The highlight? Animate Studio, a stop-motion animation class led by the creators of Wallace and Gromit. Teens will learn the basics of stop-motion and even create their own short animations.
Workshops like this aren’t just fun—they’re a chance to explore future careers in a tangible, engaging way.
Empowering Parents to Unlock Potential
Parenting is tough, especially when your child wants to pursue an unconventional dream. At EE Learn Live, a special session just for parents provides insights and tools to support their kids’ unique journeys. From encouraging digital creativity to overcoming challenges, this session is all about turning curiosity into opportunity.
