Against a backdrop of significant recent migration into the UK, it is estimated that there are now as many as seventy thousand migrant workers living in Lincolnshire, equivalent to a tenth of the resident population, of whom half intend to settle with their families. It's perhaps no surprise then that things are changing in the County's schools too; English isn't the only language being spoken in the playground any more. But how much do pupils really know about what leads a family to travel half way across Europe to start a new life in rural England?
Drawing on the stories and characters in On Saturdays This Bed Is Poland, we've crafted an absorbing new theatre education project which combines performance and workshop into a unique opportunity for pupils in Years 6, 7 & 8 to meet and get to know Mirka, a young Polish woman recently arrived in this Country and now working in the fields and factories of Lincolnshire. It's a chance to unpick media stereotypes, debate issues of integration and celebrate diversity.
This project also includes opportunities for teachers to see a performance of On Saturdays This Bed Is Poland and work with our cast and creative team to explore the important issues raised.
