Around the World


  • SBC Theatre United Kingdom (map)

A Stand & Be Counted Theatre production in collaboration with Football Unites Racism Divides, Sheffield Home of Football and Yellow Bus Events. Supported by Counterpoints Arts and Migration Matters Festival. 

Around the World is a brand new digital art-meets-football project made with people from all over the world who now call Sheffield home, to celebrate the World Cup. 

Our bright yellow school bus will tour Sheffield's communities, inviting you to explore the original rules of the modern game; founded right here in our city - and make your own art works to be displayed on board the bus and beyond! 

We will be touring around the city between Thursday 11 June - Tuesday 16 June with a series of community events, games and creative workshops, culminating in a dazzling celebration of everything we have created together at the Peace Gardens on Wednesday 17 June.


The main event on Wednesday 17 June will include contributions and events with Amar Shah, Brown Girl Sport, Farah Chamma, Inderjit Bhogal OBE and be hosted by Sile Sibanda.
