New Youth Arts Plan for Rhondda Cynon Taf
February 19, 2009
A new Youth Arts Plan for Rhondda Cynon Taf – focusing on how to create more opportunities for children and young people to take part in the arts – will be launched this Spring.
The Youth Arts Plan: Inspiring Creativity will be launched at the Muni Arts Centre, Pontypridd, on Wednesday, March 4, when talented young people from across RCT perform in a youth arts extravaganza, including dance, drama and a film showcase.
The plan is funded by the Arts Council of Wales and developed by the RCT Youth Arts Strategic Partnership (YASP). The Council’s Youth Arts programme within Cultural Services – commissioned by Fframwaith – will develop youth arts opportunities, in partnership with other Council services and the voluntary sector, for children and young people eight-25, and leads the YASP.
Councillor Robert Bevan, Cabinet Member for Culture and Recreation, said: “All children and young people in Rhondda Cynon Taf should be able to take part in arts and cultural opportunities, as it is a great way for them to express themselves, gain confidence, learn new skills and make new friends. ”
