Caring Scotland is a far-reaching oral history project created by the National Theatre of Scotland (NTS) that will document the lives and experiences of at least 100 members of the Care Experienced community in Scotland. The project aims to raise the profile, celebrate the achievements and foster empowerment of the Care Experienced community and is inspired by the practice of playwright and socially engaged theatre-maker, Nicola McCartney.
As a key part of the project, we are inviting the Care Experienced community to connect with us and to tell their story. Working with a group of artists we’ll record these stories, and this collection will be stored forever at the National Library of Scotland as well as featuring on the NTS website for everyone to connect with and listen to.
During Care Experienced Week the Caring Scotland team will be travelling around the country, and we hope to meet and connect with the local care experienced community wherever we go.
Come and meet the team and artists involved, find out more about the project and, if you’d like to, share your story at the following venues:
