Next summer will see not one, but five majestic sculptures marching straight from the African Savannah and into Norfolk. 

As part of GoGoSafari, alongside the charity’s Big 5 animals there will be around 100 smaller giraffe sculptures dubbed the Mini G. 

And now Break, the charity behind the event, is looking for schools and community groups to join the herd in designing and decorating their very own Mini G. 

Sophie Conroy at The Forum said: "We know that the GoGo Trails are now a much-loved part of the summer, bringing families, young people, and communities from across the city together.  

“We’re delighted to be partnering with Break to support the GoGoSafari Learning Programme and welcoming schools, children, and young people into The Forum to admire their incredible artwork.” 

Schools and community groups such as scouts, guides, care homes, and other grassroot organisations are being given the chance to be part of the project.

Senior partnerships and project manager Peter Marron said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for young people to be involved in our amazing new art trail for Norwich and Norfolk with an exciting new twist.

"The programme aims to develop imagination, aid creativity, and help to build people’s confidence when they see their decorated Mini G sculpture on the trail.

“It also comes with a creative learning resource pack designed to complement the curriculum and includes some fantastic craft activities.” 

Up to 10,000 people are expected to take part in the programme which will see each group receive their very own Mini G sculpture to design and decorate. Once finished, it will be showcased in venues across the city. 

GoGoSafari will be the fifth trail the charity has delivered in Norwich, and it will take place from July next year in partnership with Wild in Art and the Zoological Society of East Anglia.
