In our approach to arts and youth work we think of three things:  art as education, art as fun and art as a professional option. Our arts programme has four core developmental strands. The ArtSparks Programme uses storytelling as the key device to nurture the creative imagination of children between 5 and 8 years. Our Dance, Music and Visual Arts Programmes are structured into age-related developmental strands, offering clear progression for young people from primary school years through to secondary school and beyond.
