Creative Youth Partnerships is a ground breaking initiative aimed at developing youth arts throughout Northern Ireland Over the next 3 years, it will offer long and short term programmes and develop projects aimed at increasing opportunities for children and young people in every locality to access and participate in the arts.

Participation is open to all schools, colleges, youth clubs and youth and community groups.

A CYP Development Officer is employed in each of the Education and Library Board areas, working closely with local programming boards to increase participation and build community arts partnerships.

This CYP databases will offer arts programmes by individual artists and arts organisations, covering an extensive range of artforms.

All artists on CYP databases have been:

screened by the Education & Library Boards against police records,

reference checked for high quality arts practice and their experience in working with children and young people,

trained in CYPs Child Protection policy and Code of Good Artistic Practice in working with children and young people.

CYP subsidises the costs of CYP-registered artists and arts organisations. The cost to the school, youth or community group to obtain the services of an artist involved in a CYP programme is only £30 per halt day / £45 per full day.

Programme Information

Programme Information
Individual Artists Programme
Artists on the CYP database work with schools, colleges, youth clubs and community groups (known as receiving organisations) to develop short-term, tailor-made programmes lasting ½ day - 3 days (6 half-days).

Touring Programme
Arts organisations on the CYP database provide a range of short-term programmes including performances, workshops and exhibitions. The programmes enable arts organisations to extend the life of existing work for the benefit of wider audiences of children and young people and to build new connections with schools, colleges, youth clubs and community groups.

Action Zone Programmes
These programmes are designed to focus on building longer-term, community arts partnerships. If you are interested in being part of one of these projects you should complete an Expression of Interest Form and contact the Development Officer in your Action Zone.
