Acknowledgment of country

Polyglot acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and create, and we pay our respects to Elders past and present. For more than 65,000 years, children and families have created and played here, and we are grateful to make our art on this country too.


Artistic Ethos

At Polyglot, children are central. Our vision is a world where all children are empowered: artistically, socially and culturally.

OUR MISSION

Polyglot’s mission is to make transformational, playful arts experiences for children everywhere. Through immersive participation, our work gives children the agency to be in control, to communicate their ideas and imagination, and experience joy and connection.
