Programmes

Young Urban Arts is delivering and supporting a variety of programmes that will increase hands-on access to high quality arts programmes for young people in a youth work context in Dublin city.

Young Urban Arts believes that arts and cultural programmes are powerful tools in tackling educational disadvantage and improving life choices, and is developing in response to the huge gap and urgent need across the city for quality arts programmes for young people.

Young Urban Arts feels that it is vitally important that the growing creative and training needs of young people, the youth worker and the artist are met and therefore invloved in programming exciting, quality and varied arts programmes for young people in youth projects and in providing training opportunities for youth workers and artists.

Young Urban Arts also works with, and where appropriate partners with key agencies, educational interests, funders and policy makers to deliver programme initiatives and to promote the value of this work.

Current Young Urban Arts Programmes include the Big Breakfast, Reel Youth, and the Crew TV Training Project. Research areas are currently foccussed on the Action Research Music Programme and the Action Research Drama Programme.
