Our Projects
Edinburgh Festival Carnival Workshop Programme
The EFC Workshop Programme, running from April to July, is our flagship participation project, with over 500 workshops and engaging 6,400 participants. Facilitated by a blend of Scottish creatives, UK practitioners, and international artists in residence, the programme offers a diverse array of workshops spanning music, dance, and costume making.
The Art of Inclusion
The Art of Inclusion builds on our experience in the delivery of creative and performing arts skills and competences in international contexts, enabling learners and cultural organisers to work within an ever-increasing globalised cultural sector.
Edinburgh Napier University Jazz Summer School
Edinburgh Napier Jazz School is a five-day long summer school led by saxophonist Sue Mckenzie and her team of tutors. The course promises a cross-generational, intensive immersion into the practical aspects playing jazz.
H.A.I.R (Heritage, Attitude, Identity, and Respect)
The project aims to enable young people of colour to explore, create, present, and perform aspects of Black history using dance, music, carnival costume creation, spoken word and digital creation.
