city of culture bid

So we have been successful with our city of culture bid for Paisley. We have been funded to run a three part project. The first part will be to research where our deaf communities are in Renfrewshire and engage with them finding out what they would like to see more of culturally. The second is to work with a Primary school in Renfrewshire, teaching them basic British Sign Language Skills, alongside preparing, rehearsing and performing in Paisley arts centre with deaf and hearing actors based around the concept of communication. The third stage is to meet up with industry leaders within the deaf arts to find out what they do and how it works and is supported and to find out how to bring their expertise to the Renfrewshire area
