Hertfordshire Young Cultural Ambassadors Celebration

Hertfordshire Young Cultural Ambassadors’ Programme Celebration 2013-2014

Tuesday 8 July 2pm - 3.30pm (Doors 1.30pm)

Since June 2013, YCAs have been developing exciting programmes of cultural and arts activity that have transformed 6 Hertfordshire Schools (3 Secondary, 3 Primary). This is a pilot programme that is gaining ground and beginning to forge new connections between schools and arts organisations across the county.

"This project enabled a phenomenal spread of talent to emerge from our school community." Theodora Nickson, Head Teacher, Bishops Hatfield Girls School

The programme has been a powerful catalyst for school leaders to support young people who have led workshops, school celebrations and visits to arts organisations including the Royal Opera House. This programme is supported by a series of workshops for teachers and pupils.

YCAs have produced work that has:
• Increased young people’s engagement in the arts
• Enabled young people to celebrate their creative talents and lead projects to engage other young people
• Forged new links with arts organisations
• Generated cross-school excitement and discovery of the potential of the arts to as a path to whole-school change.

At this event you will get an opportunity to:
• Discover what YCAs have achieved through the programme
• Find out more about programme impacts from teachers
• Get information about the YCA Programme 2014 – 2015 and how to apply.

THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO PROSPECTIVE SCHOOLS, TEACHERS, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ARTS AND CULTURAL ORGANISATIONS!
