Hello John,

Our annual SPARK Youth Arts Festival ([link removed]) is back, and you're invited to join us for a week of celebrating and promoting active youth participation in youth arts!

I already know it's going to be great - take me straight to registration :) ([link removed])
What you need to know!
📅 When and where? The festival will take place from Monday 24th February to Saturday 1st March.

❓ What will I get out of attending? The week is jam-packed with activities, inspiration and celebration, including:
* The Empower: Youth Participation in Youth Arts Webinar ([link removed]) to explore how young people are empowered to shape their own artistic journeys and influence decision-making.
* An exclusive workshop with Youth Arts Speaks ([link removed]) to explore creative, youth-led consultation.
* Opportunities to have your questions answered before you start your Artist and Youth Work Residency Grant Scheme ([link removed]) application
* Youth Arts Celebration Event ([link removed]) to showcase youth arts and creativity in youth work!
* ... and more to be announced!

There really is something for everyone this year!

🤔 Is it for me? If you are a youth worker, artist, youth arts practitioner, manager, or someone who works with young people in a youth work, youth arts or non-formal education setting with an interest in youth arts in youth work, you're bound to find something that inspires you!

💰 How much? All events are free!
