How do young people feel when they engage with libraries? What barriers do they face and how does this affect their likelihood to return? How can we create inclusive and welcoming environments for young people?
Join us for a condensed version of the I’m A Teenager… Get Me Into There! training course developed by Curious Minds, a charity working to ensure all children and young people have access to the transformative benefits of creativity and culture.
This webinar will explore the following themes and activities:
-What teenagers really think about their experiences of heritage, arts, culture and libraries
-‘Sliding door’ moments which can lead to positive or negative experiences for young people and staff.
-Practical actions and examples of libraries responding to this work
-The session will conclude with a film commissioned and created by Oldham Theatre Workshop which outlines what is happening in the teenage brain and consider the implications this has for our work with young people
This webinar is aimed for anyone working within a cultural, heritage, learning environment or interested in improving interactions with young people.
