Since 2016 this special initiative, in partnership with the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, has given a group of 10-15 year old children from Craigmillar the opportunity to embark on a journey of cultural agency.
With the festival director as their guide and facilitation by artist Lou Brodie, young people from Lyra and Sandy’s community centres attended selected productions at the 2016 and 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
The young curators were then mentored about festival curation and the factors surrounding making choices for programming.
