Dear Gemmers,
I am a participant of TOWIEthics a Heritage Lottery Young Roots project.
"The Only Way Is Ethics : Creative Heritage Training supports 18-25
year olds to explore Radical Citizenship
About the programmes objectives:
The programme will train a core group of people to become young
producers who will design an innovative programme of public events
based at Bishopsgate Institute to engage their peers and explore their
understanding of the notion of citizenship in a fast changing
political and economic climate.
Radical Citizenship will also reach out to younger people by creating
workshops for primary schools linking into the citizenship curriculum
- empowering pupils to explore the ethical implications of citizenship
through a series of activities inspired by the World Citizen’s
Movement and their vision of a world without borders.
TOWIE trainees will be supported by Emergency Exit Arts, Bishopsgate
Institute and creative mentors to access routes into employment,
embedding the representation of more diverse perspectives in the
heritage sector for the benefit of young people."
I am researching successful creative strategies that have been used to engage young people in the collections in meaningful ways and wondered if you might have any time to share any learning’s that you and/or your organisation has had through recent young people focused projects?
Kind regards,
Jess Starns
