Young people can apply for a one week placement or choose to fulfil a required amount of hours over a number of weeks or months. Our Work Experience Programme gives you the opportunity to work with a wide range of people, learn about community arts and the positive impact the arts has on mental health, support local events and festivals, and even plan your own creative project. We also facilitate youth volunteering placements for young people undertaking their of Edinburgh Award and Arts Award.
