SPARK: Empower- Youth Participation in Youth Arts Webinar

February 24 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm GMT

To launch the SPARK Youth Arts Festival 2025, the Empower: Youth Participation in Youth Arts Webinar will shine a light on youth participation in youth arts to explore how young people are empowered to shape their own artistic journeys and influence decision-making.

Youth participation in youth arts is about young people having the right, means, skills, confidence, support and space to influence decisions and take part in actions which guide the youth arts process and the organisations they are working within. As youth workers and artists working in youth work settings, how do we share power with young people? Or should we be asking how do we give away our power to young people?

Join NYCI’s National Youth Arts Programme, guest speakers and panellists to consider youth participation in youth arts, explore a range of case studies and share your perspectives through interactive webinar features.

Come join the conversation!

 

  • What does youth participation look like in practice? How are young people having their voices heard within youth arts?
  • What are the values that underpin our commitment to youth participation and how does it impact our work?
  • How do we place young people’s ideas, interests and decisions at the heart of the process in youth arts?
  • Are we collaborating meaningfully with young people around the bigger decisions in our organisations, services or programmes?
  • How can we create a supportive environment and build young people’s skills to engage positively in youth participation?
  • For people just beginning on this journey, what resources and supports might be useful?
