Reclaim
We are so excited to offer a new project that will get us working together to Reclaim Croydon!
As part of this project participants will use their skills and creativity to co-design a virtual Croydon including the town centre, parks and the River Wandle to develop an immersive educational experience for young people to learn about key environment matters affecting urban areas.
We need people to take on roles such as Research, Photography, 3D Modelling, Scripting, and Video Editing to work as part of a team lead by one of our facilitators.
Participants will log into our online 3D virtual environment and collaborate ‘in-world’ and undertake personal tasks to recreate Croydon and design Reclaim learning resources.
This is a great opportunity to share your ideas and build employability and leadership skills in an innovative and topical educational project.

Project funded by Cellnex via the London Community Foundation
Digital Horizons
There is an increasing range of employment and income generating opportunities online. Using our virtual learning environment, Digital Horizons will allow participants to acquire, refine and apply their creative talents in virtual and online platforms. Participants will also have the opportunity to explore areas of digital creativity (3D Creation, Internet and Technical, Graphics and Video) with a view to future progression and outcomes.
The programme will last for one year, and will include self-directed activities. It will focus on acquiring, developing and exhibiting the digital skills that are increasingly in demand in online, virtual and immersive platforms, and in accessing appropriate social media and marketing platforms for display or sale.
With funding from the London Community Foundation, Digital Horizons is open to participants residing in the Greater London Area. Please use the link below to register your interest:
BACP Research Project
Autus is excited to be participating in a research project with a number of other organisations!
Emerge
Autus is happy to announce our new project: EMERGE, funded by the John Lewis partnership. The project is for young people aged between 16 and 30 living in Croydon and neighbouring boroughs and is a must for those who are having difficulty in preparing for and creating self-directed work.
EMERGE will put you on the pathway to self-employment through confidence-building and enterprise skills development. It provides a meaningful alternative to the traditional work environment which creates significant barriers to a highly skilled community willing and able to make a contribution to the local economy.
Discovery
3D Makeathon♥Discovery is a programme for those who want a better understanding of who they are and where they fit in the world. Everyone has something to offer and can make a contribution to society. Often we don’t know what that could be, or how to go about making those first steps to achieving it. This programme encourages self-reflection on where you are now, and by understanding more about yourself, what you might want to do in the future.
If you are interested, please register now at the link below and you will be contacted by the programme leader Jaminda with a view to introducing herself and the programme. The programme will run officially from early April 2022.
Connect 4D
Our year-long research project, Connect 4D, is now completed!
The result includes a sim and accompanying video (viewable below!) that describes the results of the project, designed in large part by our participants, many of whom have Autism.
We would like to thank Team London for their funding and support with this project. It has provided valuable learning and insight to all involved.
Mentor Me 3D
We are pleased to announce the launch of our new E-mentoring scheme: 'MentorMe3D'. If you are interested in working in the I.T. industry or with creative and digital technologies, and need someone in the field to help you plan and take active steps to achieving your goals, MentorMe3D is for you.
We will match you with a mentor from the I.T. sector, provide a safe online space for you to meet on a regular basis, and support you and your mentor as you work towards achieving your professional goals.
