Empowering Voices, Empowering Worldviewsews
This is a development of the REConnecting Lincolnshire work, (see past projects)
The project provides opportunities for children and young people in Lincolnshire to expand their knowledge and have a greater understanding of a range of worldviews by exploring how their own lived experiences relate to a wider national context through a series of podcasts.
Empowering Voices, Exploring Worldviews is a partnership project with the Lincoln Diocesan Board of Education (LDBE), Shooting Fish and cultural solutions.
The work supports children and young people in Lincolnshire, where less than 3 in 100 people are BAME, to engage with diversity.
Outputs
• A series of up to 10 podcasts created with associated educational activities
• An audio play, soundscape and in-conversation piece created for each main worldview
• 5000 young people and the general public will be reached as an online digital audience.
• A new, rich and relevant resource will be created with the potential for use nationally in a range of educational and community settings

Funded by
Mablethorpe audio play project
We have worked in Mablethorpe with NEET young people to create an audio play and develop soft skills. Funded by The Mighty Creatives and Creative Community Funding, the project enabled young people to work with a writer and drama facilitator and developed new opportunities and increased long-term aspirations. The young people created The Silent Tongue, a dark gothic horror!

REConnecting Lincolnshire
We have been working with the Diocese of Lincoln Board of Education, cultural solutions UK and Shooting Fish, to deliver REConnecting Lincolnshire since 2016. The project was initiated after a number of schools across the region began to find the delivery of RE, especially in regard to the teaching of Islam increasingly challenging.
A programme of creative learning with theatre at its core was developed, through this work we aim for young people, parents/carers and school staff to:
-
Develop a deepened understanding of the effects of cultural, racial and religious prejudice, stereotyping and discrimination.
-
Develop a deepened understanding of a variety of cultures and faiths and how a greater understanding, influences individual and social identities, leading to increased empathy and respect for Britain’s diverse citizens.
-
Develop creative skills in visual arts, performance and digital media with the support of professional artists.
-
Improve community collaboration through new partnerships, enabling positive community change and the development of good practice.
Throughout the project, we have worked with 12 schools, wrote 2 new plays, delivered over 100 creative workshops and held 15 public performances.
