2019
Edinburgh International Children’s Festival
Looking to the future
2019 has already proved a milestone year for Imaginate and the Children’s Festival. Imaginate launched its 30 year anniversary programme at Bute House, including an enhanced artist development programme, a new schools project and PUSH+, a new Creative-Europe funded project. In January a delegation of 19 Scottish artists, producers and companies also presented a Spotlight on Scotland showcase at the prestigious International Performing Arts for Youth (IPAY) conference, held in Philadelphia.

Explore with Theatre in Schools Scotland
As a whole, the project offers unique opportunities for Scottish children and their teachers to experience and interact with cutting-edge theatre, often performed within their own schools.
