outside it is beautiful is all about community participation. We are working with several local groups and arts organisations on the ground for the research and development stage in October 2024.
For the 2025 project we are seeking to become an associate company to help us access funding avenues and help us implement and facilitate the project next year. We want the project to begin no later than May 2025. We are inviting like-minded companies who already have experience in the field to get in touch. We are also inviting universities, schools, colleges and local wildlife and environmental groups in the North west of England to join us on our journey into 2025 and beyond. There will be opportunities for mentoring and training on many aspects of the project, including within writing workshops, production elements and audio and digital production.
Our activities extra to the audio art work and app will include a film, a book and free access to educational resources about the area's landscapes, wildlife and people.
As well as our supporters below, in 2025 we will also be partnering with Railway 200 & Letters to the Earth.
We are working very closely with The Leeds-Morecambe Community Rail Partnership, Culturapedia & Spot On Northern (rail), Pioneer Projects, Settle Stories and Slung Low for our research and development phase.
The research and development phase is supported by Arts Council England through its National Lottery Project Grants programme and by Northern. We are also supported by Culturapedia and Spot On. We are pleased to be collaborating with the Forest of Bowland National Landscape.
