Youth Arts
We deliver a programme of youth arts in East Cambridgeshire with a range of organisational partners. Our projects focus on providing opportunities for ages 8-18 to become directly involved in artistic creation, particularly with children and young people who are hard to reach or who have reduced access to the arts. Delivered by professional artists, using theatre, dance & music, visual arts, film & new technologies we challenge young people to participate, create, enjoy and achieve in the arts. Our projects are funded through project grants.
Since July 2009 ADeC (Arts Development in East Cambridgeshire) has been working in partnership with Cambridge County Council Office of Children and Young People’s services to develop and deliver a programme of arts, crafts and performance activities in eight locations across Huntingdonshire.
Over 200 workshops have been delivered to young people aged 13-19. They have been given the opportunity to learn new skills and get involved with positive activities. Alongside these workshops ADeC has trained over 20 Youth workers to deliver the Arts Award in their centers and many centers now have young people signed up and working towards achieving their Bronze and Silver Award.
