Same Difference

Children's global arts project

This creative and innovative project boosts the self-esteem of children living with conflict, disability and poverty.

Over 5,000 children have participated in Same Difference workshops across nine countries (excluding the UK).

The project also trains educators, parents and carers to deliver creative learning, and shows how school curriculums can be adapted for children with different needs.

Same Difference has a strong global dimension, and through art children learn about other children’s lives and cultures.
