A creative initiative by Lyra, Starcatchers and Imaginate, encompassing a travelling ensemble, creative play, and participatory performance making, all co-designed with children and young people across Edinburgh, Glasgow and Fife.

​

Supported by the Creative Scotland Youth Arts Targeted Fund, Where We Are recruited artists, practitioners, and production staff to engage over 6 months with refugee families, groups of children, and young mothers and babies through a programme of inspirational artistic activity.  In partnership with organisations focused on tackling inequality, incl. Refuweegee, Multicultural Family Base and Fife Gingerbread, the three distinct project strands were informed by the wellbeing and needs of the children and young people involved.  

​

The project partners delivered a comprehensive training and development programme for the artistic team including anti-racism and trauma-informed child protection training, with opportunities to share artistic practices and project learning. 

​

Where We Are was all about connecting with children and young people through performance making, creative arts and play as we begin to look towards life beyond the pandemic.
