ENYAN - the English National Youth Arts Network has been launched by David Lammy MP, Minister for Culture, at a high profile event at The Unicorn Theatre, London on Monday 12th June. ENYAN is delivered by Artswork, the
national youth arts development agency and part funded by Arts Council England South East.
The ENYAN website - www.enyan.co.uk - is now live, and the network open for free or full (paid) members to subscribe.
ENYAN offers excellent value for money, providing an online community for all those currently using or looking to use the arts with young people to create connections, as well as advice, news, jobs, events, training and
professional development resources. The first 50 people to subscribe as full members will also recieve a free copy of the Upstart Youth Arts Directory (worth £19.50 plus £3.25 p&p). Additional benefits, including discounts of Artsplan training and other relevant resources are also available to full members, with new benefits being added all the time.
The ENYAN website also offers 2 FREE valuable resources available for download:
- the new Artsplan Youth Arts Learning Passport (also available as hard copy): a unique, interactive, FREE creative professional development tool - FREE Artsplan guidelines for delivering Music Projects with young people
(normal price £7.50)
"What I want to say is that this particular initiative, ENYAN, is vitally important. I have seen wonderful projects across the country, particularly working with the most deprived young people. Working with young people who
are looked after or in care, looking after young people who are in the local pupil referral unit, working with young people that are caught up in crime, as well as working with all young people whatever their background in a
particular area, and many of the youth leaders particularly are heroes - they deserve huge awards because they are often doing it in isolation. I don't want to be in a place as a politician in ten years time where we are
still having this debate. I want it to be settled, I want the funding to be there, I want you guys to be networked , I want you to grow as a sector, and I want in that coming together for the sector to be a powerful force - and
that?s what I think ENYAN can achieve. That coordination, that ever greater stride for professionalisation, and that ability to advocate for young people yes, but for the arts for young people across the country." - The
Right Hon, David Lammy MP, Minister for Culture at the ENYAN launch
UPSTART, the only youth arts magazine for the UK has now been re-launched as "Upstart online", part of the ENYAN website available to Full Members. June's articles include a focus on the latest policies and news affecting
the sector:
- Rick Hall on future changes and developments for youth arts
- Jon Keane on 'Youth Matters'
- Kerry Furneaux talks about PLUS Enrichment and national developments
between the arts and the Youth Justice Board
- Stuart Hawkes gives a brief insight into a positive creative consultation
project in Yorkshire
- Sarah Grayer, OYAP Trust looks at what lessons can be learnt from the
problems faced by the Reaction Festival in Oxfordshire
- Rosy Prue guides through the current youth arts CPD (Continuing
Professional Development) menu
- Upstart revisted looks back at previous pieces by Professor Shirley
