Creating Pathways

Development Programme

Young Identity’s year-long Creating Pathways programme supports underrepresented young people aged 13–25 to progress into the creative and cultural sector.

This programme expands learning for young creatives, offering opportunities in youth governance, event production, publishing and workshop facilitation. Through the pathways of our Young Producers, Young Publishers, Young Performers and Young Leaders, you will gain valuable experience in the creative industries.

You will build relationships with artists, partners and industry professionals to access mentorship opportunities, training and specialist classes. You will access progression opportunities that build confidence and support pathways into cultural leadership, creative practice and wider sector roles.
