Young People

We have worked for and with many young people throughout Coventry, Solihull and Warwickshire, particularly through the Creative Partnerships programme and the Creative & Media Diploma.  Young people have always been at the very centre of all our activities.

Cre8us continues to believe that:

• Young people should have a voice and should be able to shape their own future.
• The arts and access to culture enables you to grow your aspirations, and prepares you for the changing world we live in.
• Being creative is a vital human quality.

Our experience shows us that young people feel innovated and inspired when engaging with the arts. 'Arts' can take place, any time, anywhere...streetdance, music, visual art, drama, fashion design, film, graffiti, DJ-ing, opera, poetry. 

Please take a look at some of the many projects we have worked on with schools and with colleges on the website, and the impact we have had on the lives of young people: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
