There are still a few places left!
There is strong evidence to show that young people value arts provision and want access to better facilities and to more of them. How are Local Authorities responding to the new duty placed upon them to provide positive activities for young people? Is youth arts provision really being given the priority it deserves and that young people are calling for?
This exciting conference brought to you by ENYAN (English National Youth Arts Network) explores these themes including key speakers from central and local government including Rt. Hon Margaret Hodge MBE MP (Minister for Culture, Creative Industries and Tourism, DCMS), arts practitioners, direct input from young people and breakout groups focussing on a number of the key elements of the government's new 10-year youth strategy 'Aiming High'.
This conference is for senior managers/commissioners of children and young people's services in Local Authorities and is also of value for those working in cultural and leisure departments and anyone working with, or for, young people in the arts and cultural sectors, or youth services. We have also set aside a number of discounted places for ENYAN members who work on a freelance practitioner basis.
