Community
Projects
Our work is participatory, creative and accessible to all
We bring young people together in workshops, on street corners, at community events, on air, in schools, and online to produce content, share music, express opinions, develop creativity, skills, aspirations, confidence and well-being.
Check out our projects within our five strands of work below:
Alternative Provision
We offer bespoke education options to young people who are not coping in mainstream education at our premises or on school sites across South Devon and Torbay.
Community
We visit events, street corners, community centres and schools all across Torbay engaging often hard-to reach young people in creative digital production activities.
Early Intervention
We work closely with partners to identify and target young people most at risk of exclusion and harm. We work with them to develop creativity, confidence, skills, self-esteem and aspirations.
Employability
We use creative digital media to engage young people farthest from employment and develop their confidence, well-being, aspirations, skills and progression pathways.
Productions
We support young people to create digital media content and platforms to engage audiences, give young people the opportunity to be heard and learn new skills.
