A NEW creative programme for the children of teenage parents, refugees and people in deprived areas has been set up to help provide support for artists during the coronavirus pandemic. As well as a response to the current shortfall of creative opportunities for freelancers, it will try to address concerns about young people’s lack of involvement in cultural experiences. Three projects over six months will engage with refugee families, groups of children and young mothers and babies, and also provide employment opportunities for 17 artists, practitioners and production staff. The Where We Are programme will be co-designed with children and young people across Edinburgh, Glasgow and Fife and will be delivered by the Starcatchers, Imaginate and Lyra organisations.
