Youth Landscapers Collective (YLC) is a place-based youth arts CIC exploring the National Forest’s (NF) industrial and natural history via ambitious collaborative projects with our community. Our members (aged 13 – 21), collaborate with professional artists, technicians and the National Forest community to produce ambitious art projects that we share with a 7000 plus audience at Timber Festival and other events. Over half our members are neuro-divergent. Others are disabled, have mental health difficulties, have experienced bullying, or face other challenges in mainstream youth and educational provision. Our projects support technical and creative skills such as sound production, designing and building structures and digital image making. Importantly, our members also develop their self-confidence, communication, and social skills, as well as their creativity, sense of responsibility, identity and belonging. Our work supports their improved mental health, connection to nature, and career pathways. This year, we completed our most complex creative community project, offered new types of creative activity, built our offer for our older members and grew our organisation. - We delivered The Stage of Possibility 2024, a youth programmed stage of youth arts performances and workshops. - We completed the line up with our own YLC band, who had composed songs working with local folk band The Coaltits, to research and devise new songs - We produced a songbook from the project that can be a legacy of the project which we’ll shared at two community events. - We brought 9 local youth, community and heritage partners together to perform on our stage, drawing on existing and new community connections, with a determination to ensure that local and youth voices had a bold presence alongside the visiting and professional acts. This involved 38 0-13 year olds, 38 13-19 year olds, 115 19 plus and attracted an audience of 1247. Feedback shows that this work supported the work of our partners and amplified local voices by helping them try new ambitious and higher profile delivery models, giving them more knowledge of and connecting them up with each other, providing an opportunity to visit a new festival and have new experiences, deepen a collective sense of identity. - YLC members work collaboratively, learn new skills, develop personally and connect to local history, taking part in more than 75 sessions, resulting in more than 200 individual workshop experiences. They reported that they felt supported to lead and shape our project by working collaboratively, learnt new skills in music making, composition and performance, stage management, community engagement, technical production, visual design, project management and felt connect to their history, locality, feeling pride and a sense of place - We continue to build on youth leadership, continuing to offer our paid project assistant role for a YLC alumni, entering the second year of our YLC Youth Council (who meet quarterly to work with staff on strategic decision making) and training a YLC alumni to join the board as a director. - We undertook our first tour, taking our artwork The Underneath to the Wye Valley River Festival, and shaping a new set of workshop offers which we can take to other organisations. - Alongside this, we are developing a new area of programming which would support our older members in developing the next stage of their creative ambitions via practical advice, mentoring and work experience opportunities. - We’ve also completed a new round of developmental work – updating policies, establishing a new website, growing our board from 3 members to 5, undertaking new safeguarding training and beginning work on a new strategy with an external consultant.
The company’s stakeholders are members of Youth Landscapers (aged 13-22) and local delivery partners. The directors of the company were involved in establishing the community youth project in 2016 that lead to development of the company and incorporation and therefore have pre-existing local relationships and an understanding of the local need that lead to its establishment and the profile of the young people who take part. Youth Landscaper members are consulted with monthly through our YLC forums, where all members can be a part of decision making and shaping our delivery based on their personal needs, interests and skills. Five members aged 18 plus also sit on our Youth Council where they meet with directors to support and consult around strategic decision making and procedures. Our 2024 project used input from these processes -shaping projects which included more physical building, the use of new technologies, and the creation of a space in which other local people and artists can also share their creativity.
