The judges described SMASHfestUK as:
An inspiring example
of collaboration between educational organisations and communities that began
as a pilot in one deprived community but has become a national programme in
just two years.
Immersive experiences have been used to encourage young people
to engage with practical solutions to disaster scenarios, a truly innovative
way of stimulating interest in STEM and arts subjects, as well as ecological
issues, while also reaching out to the wider community.
