"It has been really valuable to get such creative input from so many local children. They use the city's cultural facilities, so it is only right that the should have their say - this project has made sure we all hear their voices." Hamish Glen, Chair of Coventry City's Cultural Partnership
Working with Talking Birds Theatre Company, Imagineer Productions and Coventry Common Purpose to create an exciting and innovative project that would ensure the voices of over 150 Coventry young people (from 13 local schools) were listened to. The 'Space of Possibilities' project is an excellent example of the approach Cre8us takes to develop and position young people as equal partners with adults, and to develop their skills as leaders and co-constructors of their own learning.
