Supporting Young People to develop creativity skills and behaviours
Young people are inherently creative. At Coastal Catalyst, we are dedicated to nurturing this natural creativity by creating environments where young people can develop the skills they need to thrive and adapt in the modern world. By equipping young people with creative skills, we provide them with essential tools to succeed in a rapidly evolving future.
Our creative programmes are tailored to young people’s needs, taking place across the city both in and out of school. We engage specific groups, listen to their needs, and collaborate with artist practitioners to co-create projects led by young people. Through these efforts, we ensure that young people are at the heart of our work, developing skills that will serve them throughout their lives.
We focus on a sustainable model that allows our partners to adopt, roll out, and continue these co-created projects. With embedded CPD and training for project teams, and meaningful accreditation for young people, we recognise and celebrate creative learning. Each project is supported by rigorous evaluation, case studies, and research to provide insight into the impact of our work and demonstrate the value of creativity to funders and stakeholders.
