Hey, we just wanted to email to say it was great to meet you -we’ve loved meeting people during our performances of Treat, our workshops in the streets or through the books and scripts we’ve left around Edinburgh. Or maybe you picked up some FREE MONEY that we hid in the Grassmarket during our Do You Need This? campaign.
Now we need you. We’re looking for people to help us create art for Edinburgh. Art that speaks to people. That interacts with the public. This could be visual, performance, video or street art. Its really up to you.
We’d love to see you on a Thursday night 7 – 9pm at The Bongo Club.
Workshops and materials are free. Everyone aged 15-25 is welcome to come in and create new work.

Sir Scallywag and the Golden Underpants

When King Colin’s golden underpants go missing and the royal bottom is bared, it’s Sir Scallywag to the rescue! Brave and bold, courageous and true, he’s the perfect knight for the job… and what does it matter that he’s only six?!

Join the SCO team for an afternoon of music making. Hear the story and learn songs and actions featured in the SCO’s upcoming Family Concerts with the help of the workshop leader and SCO musicians.

All children must be accompanied by a parent/carer.

A snack will be provided after each workshop.

Have your say on poverty and inequality in North Edinburgh

plushoffices

povertyNorth Edinburgh residents have an opportunity to have their say on how best to tackle the growing gulf between rich and poor at a session in the City Chambers next week.

The city council is to host a ‘tackling poverty and inequality’ workshop session, specifically for North Edinburgh residents, on Wednesday 3 July from 10am – 12.30pm at the Business Centre, Centre Chambers.

The city council’s Tracy Boxall explained: “This workshop has been  organised by the Poverty and Inequality Theme Group, part of the  Edinburgh Partnership’s community planning arrangements in the city.  The  Theme Group currently has four main work streams, one of which is considering actions or interventions  to tackle poverty and inequality in the  city.

A sub-group of city  partners, headed up by Dr Margaret Douglas from NHS Lothian, is progressing the  development of a ‘framework’ of actions, with the aim of shaping future  work to tackle poverty and inequality.  The sub-group is now seeking  wider input to the framework’s development.  The workshop you have been  invited to is part of this process.  It will be facilitated by the  independent organisation, Poverty Alliance.

Workshop participants  (local people and other representatives from Neighbourhood Partnerships) will be  asked to work together, firstly by considering the causes of poverty and  inequality.  The workshop will then explore what actions are  needed to address the issues; the extent to which the actions are in place  already in the city; their impact; and what more might be  done.

The outputs from the  workshop will be written up and passed back to the Poverty and Inequality Theme  Group, to help inform their future work and that of city partners.  The  overall findings will also be shared with you as soon as possible.

Prior to the session, a  background paper on poverty in the city will be circulated for your  information. I hope that you are able  to attend to help with this important work.“
