STOP PRESS!

5750 copies of the newspaper publication 'Some Basic Facts about Chinatown: Excerpts from an Oral History Everyday People and Images' were distributed on Sunday 22nd January during street celebrations to compliment Chinese New Year. A number of reviews have been written by independent professionals, NML and LJMU students. Academics are eagerly relating to the content in research and the BBC Coast programme telephoned quoting pages to research for the BBC Coast programme. News travels fast! People are only just learning about the repatriation of the Chinese Seamen since the government made the information available ten years ago.

The Sound Agents promote public understanding and access to communities by recording the personal and everyday experience of Liverpool life.

The purpose of the organisation is to work inclusively with people from under-represented communities to provide opportunities to share stories using the Arts as a tool for communication.

Working outside the structure to bring together older people to pass their skills on to the younger generation by working creatively to share talents, experience and enthusiasm to bring people together to improve health and well-being and create opportunities for young people to get involved in Socially Engaged practice.
