About this event

Starts: Monday 9 August 2021 (All day)

Ends: Thursday 12 August 2021 (All day)

Organised by: Significant Seams

Significant Seams are offering  a 16-day arts-based programme for up to 24 11-16 year olds per week, from the Boniface Centre in Crediton Devon.

The programme explores making, ecology, and connections between individuals, community and their wellbeing and environment via fun, project-based activities with outstanding regional, national, and international artists.

At least seven Devon artists are contributing content over four weeks in August 2021. At least three experienced youth workers will be a continuous presence for participants. Each week has a particular focus. Week 2 will focus on visual arts with artists from Arts Lab CIC.  

Participants will have the opportunity to pursue a nationally recognised certification, Arts Award at Bronze level, and activity can count towards 'Skill' learning for the Duke of Edinburgh Award. Supporting materials and guidance will be provided. A hot meal will be served everyday, along with programme integrated nutrition and budgeting advice. The scheme is FREE for young Devon residents in receipt of Free School Meals, with a special educational need or disability, or otherwise classed vulnerable, AND one friend each. Also, any young people doing GSCE ART in Devon, not based in Crediton, can apply for a travel bursary to enable participation.

Questions can be submitted by emails or text message which are checked regularly. Responses are not however immediate as the team is part-time. Email [email protected] or text 075 2063 3939.
