Creative Youth
Creative Youth aims to increase opportunities for activity and participation, and to influence public policy around creativity in both formal education and out-of-school settings. We want to create a place where knowledge and creativity are equal partners in the formation of our young people, giving them an opportunity to become creative, active citizens.
The Creative Youth Plan 2023-2027 intends to enable the creative potential of every child and young person aged 0-24 through a series of expanded and new initiatives that will be delivered between 2023 and 2027.
