As part of the WeAll Scotland Love Letham project, Starcatchers and Early Years Scotland are working with babies and young children, their parents and carers, Early Years professionals and local stakeholders to develop a plan to make Letham the best place it can be for children to grow up in.
The pioneering project is supporting children, young people, families, the wider community and organisations like Perth and Kinross Council to work together to create a shared local vision of what children and young people need to flourish, as well as a plan to deliver it. By bringing children and communities together with decision makers we’ll create a shared roadmap that captures what matters most to people. This innovative programme is part of a growing movement of people, organisations and businesses across Scotland who are trying to do things differently. Working together we can think through what we all need to live good lives on a healthy planet and redirect our institutions, policy and practice to work in service of our collective wellbeing.
Starcatchers, in partnership with the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, are collaborating on a research project exploring current and emerging rights-based approaches in the arts for children from birth to 3 years in Scotland.
Throughout 2022, Starcatchers, artist Skye Reynolds and Scots Corner Early Learning and Childcare Centre worked together to explore how creative movement and being creative in general can help early years children understand and express their feelings.
Each month we’ll chat with a different artist about their practice and favourite ideas to use with early years.
