Art-Youth-Culture: FYI Report and Arts Council Response
Art-Youth-Culture: FYI was an Arts Council initiative which brought together 60 young people between the ages of 15 and 25 to discuss their participation in cultural life and the arts with their peers and key policy makers during three days of arts-based workshops, discussions, and meetings.
The report includes a summary of key messages which emerged over the course of the event, and concludes with an Arts Council response, outlining potential actions in the area of young people, children and education.
The FYI event has provided rich groundwork for the Arts Council’s Young People, Children, and Education team in identifying key areas for development and further exploration as part of its strategic approach in 2011-2013. Most importantly, Art-Youth-Culture: FYI has provided a clear indication of the value of ensuring young people’s voices are at the heart of Arts Council policies that impact on their experience of the arts.
It is hoped that the publication of this report will enable a range of partners to examine how the issues and concerns raised by the young delegates might resonate with their respective programmes and policies in the area of young people’s arts.
