Contacting the World Event – 19th – 25th July

Contacting the World is a pioneering, biennial festival and collaborative project for young people across the globe. Since the first Contacting the World in 2002, it has inspired innovation, creativity, inter-cultural dialogue and genuine collaboration amongst hundreds of young people.

Produced by Contact, it is a programme of exchange involving 150 young theatre makers from 12 different companies across the world, who are randomly twinned to work creatively and collaboratively over a six month period, culminating in a vibrant UK based performance festival.

It launched in 2002 as a direct result of the Commonwealth Games Cultural Programme and has since involved over 30 countries including companies from Syria, Pakistan, Trinidad, Nepal, Brazil, Turkey, Malaysia, New Zealand and Rwanda. Partners have included the British Council, Visiting Arts and Liverpool Capital of Culture with support from trusts and foundations and local businesses.
