Youth Arts in Focus: the 6 guideline collective

Artswork is delighted to present our ‘6 guideline collective’, a set of comprehensive guidelines to help you explore and set up initiatives within the wide-ranging world of youth arts. Each pack compliments a same-named course in the Artsplan training programme so that theory can be put into hands-on practice.

Artsplan is the training and publications arm of Artswork, developed to help professionals, volunteers and artists use the arts with socially excluded young people more confidently and effectively. Artswork is an independent youth arts development agency, committed to developing creative opportunities for young people aged 12-25. One way of doing so is by encouraging the participation of organisations, institutions and individuals who have little or no experience within youth arts to get involved – that’s where the guidelines will become your best friend!

Artswork has produced these guidelines in conjunction with youth arts professionals and organisations who specialise in each of the 6 respective fields, so you are guaranteed expert advice. We are offering you the chance to snap up THE WHOLE set in an exclusive deal: £35.00 plus FREE postage and packaging. They will retail at £45.00 plus £4.08 for postage, therefore you make a big saving and receive 2 guidelines totally free! Pack titles include: ‘Creating Respect: using youth arts to develop an understanding of cultural diversity’, ‘Using the arts with juvenile and young offenders’, ‘Access all Areas: disability and youth arts’, ‘Working Together: using the arts with young people’, ‘Using the arts to work with young asylum seekers and refugees’ and ‘Using the arts to work with young people at risk’. Each pack addresses specific issues within its topical area, such as focussing on the ways in which barriers to particiption within the arts can be removed for disabled young people and young asylum seekers.

As Jay Barron, Artsplan Development Manager explains: “The ‘6 guideline collective’ is a wonderful opportunity to taking the first step towards involvement with such a hugely diverse area as youth arts. Informative but not mind-boggling, each pack makes sure you have just what you need to know!” Please also remember that ENYAN (English National Youth Arts Network) members receive 5% discount on all Artsplan publications and training!
