The project will celebrate diversity and promote cohesion within and between communities through our quarterly magazine, vibrant celebratory events, a fascinating and eclectic variety of creative projects and exciting new initiatives, such as the annual Scribble festival.
The TUAO team will: continue to work in four deprived neighbourhoods in Rochdale where the project is established; develop our work with Rochdale’s African community: expand the project to two neighbourhoods each in Oldham and Bury.
In each neighbourhood the team will support a Story Group for adults meeting monthly for creative writing activities and develop discrete projects engaging a variety of people in the communities, aiming to build bridges between groups who may have little contact with one another.
