Synopsis

This book is offered to artists, youth workers and everyone interested in arts practice with young people. In the contributions to this volume the concept of 'participation' itself is absolutely central. Drawing on the work both of students on the NUI Certificate in Youth Arts and of other artists, educators and youth workers engaged in arts work with young people, they highlight the value of arts experiences which are not only enjoyable and relevant to young people's own lives, needs and circumstances but which are developmental in design and which purposefully engage the young people as critical, active participants at all stages of the process. They describe an approach, therefore, which might be termed arts work by, for and with young people.
