Youth at the Centre Seminar: Putting Young People at the Heart of Your Arts Venue
Join Youth Theatre Ireland for a day-long seminar exploring how your venue can become a home for quality youth theatre work and create opportunities for young people to engage in excellent arts experiences.
This is an opportunity for staff and practitioners from arts venues to:
- Share best practice approaches from youth theatres around the country;
- Explore current national and local arts strategies that will impact on the future development of youth arts initiatives in venues;
- Discover from youth theatre members how your venue can become a real ‘home’ for creative young people;
- Find solutions with your peers to some of the practical challenges you’ve faced running a youth theatre in your venue.
