We have formed a community interest company called ‘Traditional Arts Development CIC’ to run Living Tradition Summer Schools. This company, TRAD for short, will also be a platform for other projects which may be initiated by our tutors and partners.

We have been working hard to open up this opportunity and this summer will be a time when we lay important foundations for future years.

Another piece of ‘big news’ is that we have agreed a strategic partnership with the University of Stirling who will be our educational partners for 2010 and beyond. This partnership has implications not only for the summer schools but also for other year round opportunities. We see Stirling as a 'hub' for a range of 'Traditional Arts Development' projects working within our community of interest.
