Small Feet Go Far: The First Ever Swedish Cultural Season For Children Opens In London

...five plays, seven films, six authors, two ministers, nine rehearsed readings, three seminars...

Philip Pullman, Henning Mankell, David Lammy, Jacqueline Rose, Tony Graham, and Suzanne Osten are among the British and Swedish cultural leaders participating in Small Feet Go Far, the first ever Swedish cultural season for children which takes place at venues across London from 11 - 29 October 2006.

Small Feet Go Far (public website: www.smallfeetgofar.com) has been initiated by the Swedish Embassy in London to provide an unparalleled opportunity for British children, families, schools and arts professionals to see some of Sweden's finest work for children and participate in debate with authors, film makers and playwrights about what children's culture means.

Small Feet Go Far is a precursor to the Swedish Year of Young Culture in 2007, an initiative from the Swedish Government to raise national debate on the provision of culture for children in Sweden. Small Feet Go Far provides a starting point for this debate, gathering thoughts and exchanging ideas with British culture providers and audiences of all ages.

This website acts as Small Feet Go Far's press resource, in conjunction with the public website (www.smallfeetgofar.com). Contact Will Kallaway or Anna Cusden at Kallaway with any questions: 020 7221 7883
