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. Circus Skills to Street Dance, African Drumming to DJing, Jewellery making to T-Shirt Printing over 500 young participants – boys and girls – have had an opportunity to learn new skills and get involved with positive activities they themselves have chosen. Contact us for more information on this programme.
