Working In Person – As soon as we return to our renovated home at Chapel FM Arts & Media Centre we will be organising small in person group sessions, following Covid 19 safety measures. We will also be looking at more socially distanced walks around the area, hopefully starting with a Winter Walk in December.

LIVE Broadcasts – Content created during by young people as part of their sessions will be used during our LIVE RED KITE broadcasts.

ARTS AWARDS

We offer all participants the chance to work on a nationally accredited Bronze Arts Award qualification as a starting point. Older young people who already have a Bronze and who are dedicated to putting in the time, can ask to work on a Silver award, finally leading to a Gold. The Arts Award is based around developing leadership skills, sharing their experiences and reviewing the work they take part in and develop. It’s a great addition to your CV and shows personal development in the Arts for college and further education applications. Its also a great way to collate your learning journey.
