To commemorate Borderline’s 5th Anniversary we are proud to announce the opening of a very special exhibition entitled Our Burma Book. The show is the culmination of a unique long lasting partnership between a number of Burmese and Scottish Schools. The partnership allowed children in very different parts of the world to explore each others lives through letters, drawings and discussions; providing a deep understanding of Burma and her people both inside the country and in exile.

As part of the project, each child in each school was invited to select an image of Burma and create an etching from the original picture. The children shared these images with each other and wrote short pieces that reflected their thoughts and feelings on them. The writing was then translated into each language so that a book could be produced as not only a record of the special relationship between the schools, but also so it could be used as a textbook for critical thinking in Scottish and Burmese schools.

To celebrate the opening of the exhibition students from Hle Bee and Say Ta Nar Schools will be giving a special performance.

Bangkok based theatre group Baby Mime will also be making a special guest appearance.

Please join us to enjoy the show at the opening Reception: 6:00pm to 9.00pm on Thursday 16th July. Performances will begin at 7pm.

Complimentary Burmese refreshments will be provided by Borderline Tea Shop.
