has allowed the company the ability to adapt to the changing world and constantly offer a product that is relevant and exciting for their audiences. In the same year Pilot began a large scale cooperation project funded by the European Commission under their European Culture Funding Stream Creative Europe. This project, entitled PLATFORM shift+, consists of 11 partners from 9 countries - ten theatres and a university - all working towards meeting the new challenges of producing theatre for young people in the digital age. As one of the UK's most renowned companies in delivering performance work for young people and exploring innovative approaches to making and sharing work, Pilot Theatre was the leading organisation. In 2014, they began work on the Boomerang – Documents of Poverty and Hope project. This is one of 12 successful projects being run by the European Commission under their Cooperation project with Third Countries - European Culture Funding Stream. Pilot Theatre is working with five other theatres; the Australian Theatre for Young People, Sydney; Dynamo Theatre, Montreal; Presentation House Theatre, Vancouver; Elsinor Theatre, Milan; and O Bando Theatre, Portugal, on the issue of migration and its impact on young people across continents. Continuing Pilot's history of International work, they are currently a partnering organisation on PlayOn!,a cooperation project announced by the European Commission under their Culture Funding Stream Creative Europe, which will run from 2019 – 2023. PlayOn! was initiated by 9 theatres with experience in the use of digital technologies and a university with high digital expertise. 8 universities from the creative digital sector are associated partners in order to facilitate access to technical knowledge. The company won the Excellence in Touring award and was a finalist for Best Show for Children and Young People at the UK Theatre Awards 2019, for their stage production of Malorie Blackman's novel Noughts and Crosses, adapted by Sabrina Mahfouz.
