But that aside, the project has been an invaluable opportunity for all parties to exchange ideas and learn from each other's experiences as theatre-makers, musicians, storytellers, directors and writers. Adam said: "There's something for me about the fact that there will be a voice given not just to the Sierra Leone artists but to the Hull artists as well.
They all have a voice as part of the project, and they will have a platform to share their opinions and ideas with audiences in March. The fact that the main theme of the conference is related to inclusion and diversity is a real key element of what we've worked on with this project.
Amanda said: "Sierra Leoneans are genuinely just building their country and the art infrastructure from a time that's been quite harsh for them both in terms of war and health. So to be able to engage with an international audience and group of artists and talk about the country and their craft is a major benefit.
Not only has the exchange benefited the artists, but it has also had a personal and professional impact on the organisers. Like this: Like Loading Tell us about your views Cancel reply. Do not sell my personal information. Cookie Settings Accept.

In the end they had recruits from Nova Scotia who had got depressed by the poor weather and the discrimination there. They left in 15 ships. They arrived at the previous settlement that had returned to jungle.
The men went ashore to clear the brush and jungle. When they got a big cotton wood tree they stopped and all the men and women paraded from the shore to the tree singing hymns of praise.
The town was called Free Town. The original cotton tree that was the site of the prayers and worship of the Nova Scotian settlers. The place survived being sacked by the French in and by there were to buildings. Most of those working alongside Wilberforce had either roots or links with Hull. In the early days of abolition the British Navy would patrol the seas off West Africa and seek to intercept slave ships with their human cargo.
They were then returned to the African continent and Freetown was one of the first settlements, so named because the people received their freedom there. In recent times Freetown has seen growth, prosperity and disaster too.
