'KFOR and Kosovo +25' in Greater Manchester

1. We would like to stage the full-scale 100-image ‘KFOR and Kosovo +25’ photodocumentary exhibition in Manchester, Bolton and Rochdale with speakers, including veterans, historians and storytellers. The exhibition will reach across all cultures/backgrounds/faiths/nationalities/refugee populations in the north west. 2. Add oral histories of Kosovan residents/others with relevant stories of arrival in the north west as started through the Bury exhibition and extended in this project 3. Involve schools, colleges and Manchester University, including their UN links 4. Promote the exhibition to reach the north west’s diverse communities working through regional cultural/faith/historical/regimental networks including Manchester Cathedral and their interfaith connections 5. Train/support one group of young people age 15+ in each location to stage a portable installation to build awareness with schools/colleges/community/faith groups in the respective authorities to build audience for the main exhibition.
