Five Scottish communities are celebrating awards in recognition of being one of the country’s most creative places. The Creative Place Awards celebrate and recognise the hard work and imagination that contributes to the rich cultural life of a community, as well as its social and economic well-being.
The Awards are part of the Year of Creative Scotland 2012, a year-long celebration of our nation’s cultural and creative strengths.
Festival of Dangerous Ideas
The Festival of Dangerous Ideas aims to re-establish the importance of dangerous ideas as agents of change in education – to shift the axis of what is possible! As Oscar Wilde once said: ‘An idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all’.
Whether you want to contribute to one of our events, host an event of your own, provide a venue, sponsor a session, or even hold a dinner, exhibition or debate, we would love to hear from you.
During the week-long festival, in conjunction with Creative Scotland and partners, there will be a variety of activities happening around Scotland, including:
•My Dangerous Idea (opportunities for sharing ideas)
•Dangerous Words (what’s the future for books? is the kindle the beginning or the end?)
•Dangerous Wisdom (philosophy cafe – what is the purpose of education?)
•Dangerous Research (a platform for academic voices with FERRN)
•Dangerous Theatre (forum and invisible theatre with Visible Fictions)
•Dangerous Gardening (introduction to guerrilla gardening with an expert from New York)
•Emporium of Dangerous Ideas.
This opportunity is available in: All Scotland

Show Racism the Red Card – creative competition
The Scottish Qualifications Authority and the Scottish Football Association have joined forces once again to promote their annual anti-racism competition, Show Racism the Red Card. Pupils and students across Scotland are asked to produce a creative piece of work that promotes messages of anti-racism or anti-sectarianism. The concept is simple, come up with a piece of creative work that gets across loud and clear the message that racism and sectarianism are not welcome in Scotland.
The competition has been running since 2003 and thousands of pupils from all over Scotland have entered the competition. The competition culminates with a prize giving ceremony at Hampden Park with celebrities from the football world on hand to meet the winners.

Creativity Portal welcomes The Arches to the Creative Directory
The Arches presents experimental and risk taking performance by local and international artists, in addition to this we support the development of emergent Scottish artists . The Creative Learning Programme at The Arches develops bespoke Creative Learning activity in and out of the building. The premise for this activity is that we believe that all people have the capacity to be creative and we are interested in facilitating experiences that offer participants a creative opportunity to express their opinions about the world and ‘realize’ the artist within in them.
