This programme is being led by Canterbury City Council working in co-operation with the four district councils of East Kent. It involves an eighteen-month programme featuring a culturally diverse music programme, a story telling project to address issues surrounding asylum, a literature and dance event to raise awareness of Black History Month and a community opera telling the story of the Kent Coalfields. There are a number of activities linking with other European countries involving both established partnerships and new connections with the new accession states.
A number of activities are planned as collaborative ventures with the other recipients of Urban cultural programme funding in the south east – Brighton and Hove, and Oxford.
