Beyond Borders: Sharing Stories of Peterborough

Beyond Borders - a free public event as part of the national Being Human Festival 2024.

All welcome!

Join an important conversation about the city of Peterborough. This one-off event brings together residents from all backgrounds to explore and celebrate Peterborough's diverse experiences while contributing to valuable community research.

People from all walks of life will come together, share a meal, and discover what community and belonging mean in our city.

Led by local artists, you'll create words and artwork that tell your Peterborough story. Meet new people from different parts of the city, share your brilliant knowledge to support research in Peterborough, and create art and poetry about your experiences.

No artistic skills needed – just bring yourself and ideas!

Sign up here so that we have a good sense of numbers.
