PROJECT INTRODUCTION 

At Indigo Youth we recognise that for communities to develop and thrive, it is important for young people to be given opportunities that encourage them to become self-sustainable and economically active, alongside developing their personal skills and self-confidence. The aim of the "I Love Creativity" project is to give young people aged 18 to 25 years old, access to professional workshops in 5 areas. The 5 areas are music production, technology, content development, business support and mentoring. These will help the young people to develop holistic life skills and creative business knowledge that will lead to employability, wellbeing and self-sustainability.   

WHO WE ARE       

Our team of professionals includes musicians, entrepreneurs, artists, community leaders and project managers. Together, we coordinate and deliver projects and platforms in response to youth violence, social exclusion, and for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Our services and workshops promote and provide well-being, self-confidence, new career and job opportunities, by connecting young people to progressive platforms they can rely on. We strive to give everyone from deprived backgrounds an equal chance at a safe, positive and healthy life. 

Indigo Youth will oversee and manage the running of the project with our partner organisations who will be directly involved in delivering content.  

 

Our aim is to deliver the project alongside 5 partner organisations who will provide the following:  

  • Access to experienced and successful music mentors and business trainers  

  • Career development and content creation within the chosen pathway 

  • Access to high level technology, professional studios and creative resources  

  • Employability skills & opportunities 

  • Learn skills in Self Sustainability within their chosen field 

  • 1 to 1 mentoring throughout the program  

  • Access to accredited counsellors for emotional wellbeing

PROJECT OVERVIEW 

The project will give 125 young creative people the access they need to further their professional careers and become more employable, whilst also allowing them access to platforms and industries that they usually feel excluded from. During the workshops participants will gain access to recording studios, videographers, graphic designers, social media marketing classes, music production, tech app development, photography workshops, event organising and one to one mentoring. 

Young people taking part in the I Love Creativity Project will be paired with a mentor for the duration of the project. In weekly 1:1 sessions, the young person and their mentor will set goals and address any support the young person may need. 

There will always be a mentor available for participants on each creative workshop.
