Through the dynamic programme of activity we will celebrate our world-class events, festivals, artistic and cultural heritage to connect people with Scotland’s creativity, arts and culture in a way that inspires them to participate in 2012, and beyond.
Creative Say is an invitation for anyone in Scotland to participate in these developments.

A version of A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare
Touring to Fife schools Monday 24 – Thursday 27 September 2012
If you go down to the woods tonight, you’re in for a big surprise!
The course of true love never did run smooth: a strict father and his headstrong daughter; star-crossed lovers and quarrelling fairies; mischievous imps, supernatural spells and people in the wrong place at the wrong time. Wee Stories’ re-telling of Shakespeare’s fabulous fairy-tale will be an entertaining, inventive and delightfully confusing experience for anyone aged 10+
With this slimmed-down, but not dumbed-down version of the play, we aim to inspire young people in schools with the power and the passion of the work of William Shakespeare. The piece will enrich learning by bringing professional theatre into school, inspiring children to express their own creativity, and helping them to understand how a classic text can be adapted to speak to a contemporary audience.
‘Wee Stories have earned a reputation not only as the best children’s theatre company in Scotland, but also as one of the very best companies in any genre.’ Daily Telegraph

‘The word on the Leviathan’s lips this year is “creativity”. But is the Scottish education system ready to embrace truly new ways of learning?’
‘Every Day’s a Learning Day’ consists of two books produced by Education Scotland for parents and carers of children aged between birth and 3 years, and 3 to 6 years. The aim is to help parents support their child’s development in the crucial areas of health and wellbeing, literacy and numeracy.
This resource highlights the many excellent learning opportunities that exist within daily experiences such as washing the dishes, preparing a meal or doing the shopping.
The books will be distributed through the Scottish Book Trust’s Bookbug programme. Parents of new babies are set to receive a copy of the birth to 3 book from their health visitor. The second book, which supports parents with children aged 3 to 6 years, will be issued when their child turns 3 and starts nursery.
To view the copies of ‘Every Day’s a Learning Day’ online, please visit the Education Scotland website where you can download both books in PDF format, including a Gaelic language version.
