Tyneside: Where We Are

Aged 16–24 and living in Newcastle, Gateshead, North or South Tyneside?

Keen to get involved in a creative project and get paid for your time?

Don’t have much (or any!) experience with arts or cultural projects?

Up for being part of a collaboration between the British Museum, Tyneside Cinema, and NE Youth to explore art, culture, and your own creative ideas?

Free to join 12 weekly evening sessions between September 2025 and January 2026? You will be paid £30 per session for your time, and your travel expenses will be covered. Sessions will take place at Tyneside Cinema, 10 Pilgrim Street, Newcastle Upon Tyne.

Happy to get stuck in, try out different creative activities, and shape the sessions with other participants?

Where we are…’ is a UK-wide national programme for young people aged 16–24 that co-designs and co-delivers meaningful local projects in arts and culture.

Supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation and covering costs for all involved, the programme aims to engage young people who are under-served in the museum sector.

This programme, delivered in partnership between Tyneside Cinema, NE Youth and the British Museum aims to:

• Remove some of the barriers to engagement that young people face within the cultural sector.
• Create a sense of agency in young people that can be reflected into their communities.
