Ten young people will join The Mighty Creatives on Sunday (October 23) for the first leadership residential in partnership with Lincolnshire One at Priory Academy LSST.
The 14 to 18 year-old young people will learn team building, leadership skills and festival programming and management and take part in practical digital art workshops.
There will also be the opportunity for the young people to enjoy the Frequency Festival with access all areas pass for the duration of the festival October 21-29.
Lincolnshire One identified a need for young people to become more involved in collaboration and key decision-making for the county arts sector and has obtained funding to offer this leadership and skills development programme in partnership with TMC.
Following the residential young people will be offered the opportunity to access a mentor from the arts and cultural industries who will be happy to offer advice, guidance and, possibly, access to volunteering or apprenticeships.
During the residential participants and TMC will be tweeting about they are getting up too and photos and films will be uploaded to the Be Mighty Be Creative blog after the event.
Just got back from viewing the young people's digital art stills and animations at The Collection in Lincoln. We awarded certificates and also revealed the winners of the Festival Challenge; creative writing mentoring from Lincolnshire's Poet Laureate, Joel Stickley.
ReplyDeleteAnd more to follow: the young people themselves will be feeding back to the funding body, Lincolnshire One, both to offer an evaluation of the residential but also to complete their challenge for their Personal Achievement Award. WOW!
