Description:

Streetwise Opera is an award-winning charity that uses music to help people who have experienced homelessness make positive changes in their lives. It runs music programmes in homeless centres and arts venues across England and stages critically-acclaimed opera productions.

Streetwise Opera’s With One Voice programme has begun to bring the international arts and homelessness community together over the past four years. With One Voice was designed to give homeless people a voice through the Olympics, while also building capacity, sharing knowledge and strengthening the whole arts and homelessness sector around the world.

The first With One Voice event took place during the London 2012 Cultural Olympiad and was the first time homeless people had been represented during the Olympics. It’s now being followed by events at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020 with all projects bringing the arts and homelessness sector together internationally.
