‘My Story Is Your Story’ is a series of creative engagements created in 2021, led by Edinburgh and Lothians Health Foundation’s Arts in Health and Wellbeing Programme, Tonic Arts, in partnership with NHS Lothian’s Equalities Network.
This short film celebrates the contribution of Black and Minority Ethnic staff, sharing interviews about their experiences during COVID-19, the challenges they faced and the changes they want to see happen.
This is part of a wider creative programme, called 360 Visions, which uses theatre, storytelling, music and filmmaking to understand NHS Lothian BME staff experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic and explore the multi-faceted challenges faced not only by BME staff, but also by Disabled, LGBT+ and Youth staff members. These creative activities will support the development of a range of equalities, diversity and inclusion resources across NHS Lothian, enhancing the work that is already taking place in the organisation to broaden views and improve culture.
The 360 Visions programme has been made possible thanks to donations made to Edinburgh and Lothians Health Foundation‘s COVID-19 Appeal as well as grants received from NHS Charities Together.
