Music for Change is to be involved in a new Lottery funded project until spring 2008. This project will trace the part played by the black and ethnic minority community in East Kent demonstrating the value and the contribution they have made over the last 250 years to the local heritage. It will raise awareness by providing resources to schools, teachers and young people in the area which are directly relevant to their local heritage.

The project will include:

• training and raising skills in heritage research
• training in and production of schools’ materials for citizenship
• training and improving website skills in order to create a website containing materials from the project
• 8 workshops will then be held to enable the young people to participate in interpreting the research
• findings by using performing arts which will be showcased in 2 performances.

The website will be a resource for schools and will be advertised on postcards distributed around the county.

A summary of the project with a visual record of the interpretative workshops and performances will also be created.

The NBS award will enable the materials produced to be used in special schools for those with physical and learning difficulties and to also produce special performances for these young people.
