Children and young people are creative by nature. But to become lifelong creators, some need nurture. With the right encouragement, support, opportunities and connections, they can grow into brilliant creative citizens. The best way to invest in our local community is to invest in the young people who will create its future. We want to prove to the world that collective action to nurture the creativity of our city’s children works – and has long-term, positive and measurable. To survive and thrive in this world, the key skill will be creativity. The creativity to see new connections, and the creativity to transform information into ideas. Children and young people are our beginning, not our end. We work backwards from their needs then match them with the most appropriate local opportunities.
