Manx Wildlife Trust to launch 'ground breaking' project

Thu, 30 Nov 2023

The Manx Wildlife Trust (MWT) will be launching a “ground-breaking” wildlife project thanks to a grant of £27,516 from Manx Lottery Trust.

MWT has commissioned Hello Little People, a children’s theatre company, to create an original production with young people, for young people, to inspire action for wildlife through theatre.

The primary focus of the project is the development of an interactive 20-30-minute outdoor theatre performance, which aims to educate children (aged 11 – 18) about the diverse wildlife found in the Isle of Man and empower them to become part of the solution to the challenges it faces.

Creators and actors Michelle Jamieson and Chloe Shimmin will lead the first performances of the project in summer 2024, after which young people will receive training to deliver the outdoor theatre experiences to a younger audience aged 3 to 11.
