Subscriptions Information

ENYAN Membership

ENYAN Membership is now completely free!

ENYAN previously operated at 2 levels (free and full), however, as of 12 June 2007 all free ENYAN members will automatically be upgraded to full membership completely free and any new members will also automatically have full membership. This means that all members will be able to access the whole of the website and all benefits.

The decision to offer complementary membership for all was made following feedback from the recent members’ survey and in order for ENYAN to be able to fulfil its aims of raising the profile of youth arts and uniting the whole of the sector. These aims are only achievable if the network is fully accessible and this will be the case as of ENYAN’s first birthday this year (12th June).

ENYAN recognises the financial commitment that current full members have made in the last year, and the network simply would not exist without it. Therefore, all full members to date will be reimbursed accordingly and have been contacted directly.

Why should you become an ENYAN member?
