Below are just a few of the more recent projects and collaborations we have been involved in.
Please contact us if you have an idea for a community project.
The ‘Never Give Up’ project
We worked with year 6 pupils to write, perform and record their own anthem, exploring issues of school life, community identity, and their hopes and dreams. Funded by the Communities First Trust Fund, the project included five primary schools and two secondary schools in Ely and Caerau, culminating with two stage performances at the Ely and Caerau festival. A very worthwhile experience.
Anthem470
Nearly 420 pupils from Cardiff, Brecon, Dolgellau and Conwy were enabled to take a creative look at the culture, opportunities and obstacles they all face, and express these in original lyrics. Each group created a unique anthem, which they performed, recorded, illustrated and dramatised, with fantastic results. Six young people were then chosen from each school to perform the anthems ‘on tour’ to large audiences of their peers.
Anthem Draig
We enabled around 200 members of the community in Splott and Tremorfa, from grandparents to teenagers to school children, to explore their personal and community identity through visual art, music and film. We filmed parents and senior citizens in the community sharing their stories of times when they ‘never gave up’. A local youth group, inspired by this film, worked with us to create a large mural on a container in Tremorfa park. You can see the results of this on www.splott.nevergiveup.org.uk
