Participants The programme aimed to work intensively with up to ten young people between the ages of 18 and 30. Over the year we saw a total of thirteen young people access elements of the programme at various levels of engagement. From one off sessions, short term PDP and mentoring, work experience, training and development, those attending a short series of workshops most appropriate to their individual learning needs, to finally, the group who committed to the entire year and all areas of the programme. We learnt quickly that the full programme offer was most suited to those who had little or no professional experience in the arts, those wanting to increase knowledge of the arts and participation, learn new skill and develop a better understanding of the arts in a professional context or those who considered themselves at the very beginning of forging a career in the creative industries. Those young people who felt all elements of the programme were suited to their level of learning and progression committed to the full year on the Young Artist Development. This document will present the stories from full term participants.
