The final winners will be anounced at this years summit, taking place from July 23rd to 25th in London. As a shortlisted project (and potential winner) Tiny Toones will receive significant support to help us grow and to continue inspiring and educating some of the poorest children in Phnom Penh.

We are delighted to reveal this year’s shortlist, which comes after many hours of deliberation from more than 25 experts in their field. To be chosen from more than 300 entries for a place on this shortlist represents a fantastic achievement on the part of all these projects.”

 

 

Tiny Toones year in review

April 29th, 2012 | By

Looking back on 2011 it was another great year for Tiny Toones, beginning with a performance at the prestigious ‘TEDx’ event. This was the first time the dancers and rappers had performed in one play together and the first time they had choreographed their own dance routines to tell their personal stories on stage. TEDx was a special experience and it was great to see them learn how to really express themselves and grow, both as people and as artists.
