This project
was in response to the 1994 European Year for Cross-generational
Work. When establishing STAGE, SiE met with a variety of individuals
and organisations already working in Scotland and invited them to
participate and develop ideas that would culminate in an event that
could be performed in Scotland and then taken into Europe.
The first of
these ideas involved fifty participants in STAGE devised to embrace
the European year of cross-generational work.at that time STAGE was
a project involving over fifty artists, writers and musicians which
toured Glasgow then went on to tour Paris.
Today STAGE,
retitled Scottish Talent Across Generations Events,
is revitalised and over the past few years in Glasgow has the following
projects
- Community Tea Dances (live music and dance)
- Paisley Road
West Festival
- Online Workshops
on Comedy, Drama, and Climate Change Poetry
- Homage to
Billy Connolly and Gerry Rafferty Event (music and comedy events)
- Oral
History:

on to be published in two books
- Kinning Park
Festival
- Writers Group
