ORGANISED YOUTH: Influencing People

How does youth-centred, peer-led programming influence institutional practices? What are the benefits and challenges of self-organisation? How do we measure the impacts of an open exchange between young people and the institution? Designed for educators and artists to explore the possibilities offered by working collaboratively together, come join us for a drink and take part in this open conversation. Young people are very welcome! Speakers include Professor Neil Cummings, Zoe Macuzzi, Jacob Whittingham and Kieran Yates.
