| “Creative
Youth Partnerships will provide opportunities for children
and young people to participate in the arts within the formal
education sector, the non-formal sector and in the context
of community and voluntary groups and organisations.
“The CYP programme is now on-line, providing a database
of arts projects and activities for youth organisations to
access. Youth organisations, schools and colleges can select
individual artists and professional arts organisations to
deliver a combination of pre-prepared and individually-tailored
arts activities.” The Arts Council of Northern Ireland,
education and library boards, the Department of Culture, Arts
and Leisure and the Department of Education, have developed
the Creative Youth Partnerships project.
Those who would like to know more about the project, or who
want to include their group or school in its programme of
arts activities, can visit the CYP website at www.cypni.org.
