What your organisation does
Belfast Youth in the Arts tackles social issues affecting young people aged 13 - 19 years coming from areas of deprivation within the Belfast area. Focusing on personal development work we use the arts as a tool for navigating and exploring difficult issues that face many of our young people affording them opportunities to look at these issues in
new ways. We also produce arts functions and events to allow the young people opportunities to demonstrate their developments to the wider public.
