MY COMMUNITY, MY HERITAGE, MY PLACE

Funded by Solihull MBC, Solihull CEPs New Communities Festival ‘My Community, My Heritage, My Place’ is encouraging children and young people to celebrate and share their cultural heritage through the arts.

Running across May 2023 - March 2024, the festival worked with schools across the Solihull borough to celebrate home, community, and identity, focusing on communities from Ukraine and Hong Kong in particular.

Each school worked with an artist across 5 days, using a variety of art forms to explore the themes in new and exciting ways. This culminated in a celebration event at Cineworld Solihull on 5th March.

The project engaged a total of 1047 young people

Completed 94 days of workshops

Worked with 20 schools

VIRTUAL GALLERY

Workshops for this project run June 2023 - March 2024, so to keep up to date with what schools have been getting up to and when, we have created this handy virtual gallery!

The gallery features progress images and videos from each school as they complete their workshops, providing a space to connect all 20 schools together before the celebration event.

You can 'walk round' the gallery space in 3D and click into each room. Open up the gallery in full screen mode for a better experience.
