Past projects

LIVES ON LINE & BE SEEN BE HEARD

Whilst working intensively in Brazil, People's Palace Projects also undertook two smaller pilot projects with young people in the UK between 2003-2006. Lives on Line was a year-long performance, visual art and design programme with excluded teenagers in 2003-4, and Be Seen, Be Heard! was a 3 year project for young people in care on the Isle of Wight to have their opinion heard through participatory arts-based evaluation approaches, in partnership with the Children's Society who funded the project.
