Past projects
Since 2013, first as HRAEN and now as Exchange, we have created, collaborated and supported projects that bring the arts alive for young people. Working in and out of schools, in partnership with young people, cultural organisations, artists and creatives, we've run projects ranging from dance workshops to Shakespeare with the RSC to a full weekend festival curated by young people.
