School and community projects

We want to enable more young people to experience the festival, inspiring the next generation of Fringe audiences and performers and shining a light on careers in the arts.

We regularly engage with community events around the city to ensure that the Fringe is a force for good in Edinburgh.

Fringe in Communities encourages and enables local community groups to perform on a stage during the festival.

Perform at the street events as a school, class or community group

Our Young Fringe Ambassadors project helps a group of 12–15-year-olds from three high schools around Edinburgh to explore career pathways in the arts.

Fringe in a Fortnight is a project designed to give primary school children the opportunity to create a piece of Fringe theatre.

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to express themselves through creativity and experience the thrill of live performance.

This project is made possible through the support of a private donor and the beneficiary schools are selected by request/arrangement of this donor.

Teachers' Theatre Club was our project with Imaginate to help teachers in Edinburgh and the Lothians experience live performance.
