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.
