Find Your Talent gives children and young people the chance to try out different cultural and creative activities.
It's about helping them to discover new things, to express themselves, to develop a passion and to make the most of their talent. Whether it is music, art, film, theatre, dance, digital media, exploring libraries, museums or heritage, Find Your Talent is for every child and young person, whatever their age and whatever their ability.
Find Your Talent is being piloted in ten pathfinder areas across England and offers children and young people regular involvement with arts and culture both in and out of school. Find Your Talent is funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Department for Children, Schools and Families, Arts Council England and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.
The areas - chosen from 141 that applied - are building on existing investment and opportunities currently taking place in their area, as well as developing new projects.
Find your Talent will include giving young people the chance to:
- perform on stage and attend top quality performances, exhibitions at museums and galleries, and heritage sites
- get hands-on experience of the creative industries including film making, radio and TV
- learn a musical instrument, and take part in a musical performance in front of an audience
- produce creative writing and appreciate authors and how they work
- learn about - and practise – new media and digital art
- develop art and craft skills.
The desire to provide this level of cultural opportunity is driven by the desire to see all young people develop their talents to the full.
