Creative Pathways Environmental Design introduced young unemployed people to nature, environmental awareness and green skills through practical, creative and fun projects. The project was run by Impact Arts, a forward-thinking community arts organisation which uses the arts and creativity to enable and empower social change.
The project engaged 622 young people on 12 week courses
417 young people progressed into employment, volunteering, apprenticeship, training, learning or education
363 young people completed an accreditation
15 urban and green spaces were transformed
As a result of the programme, Impact Arts has established a youth steering group, appointed a young trustee and carried out a year-long Listening Project to ensure its young people are heard, respected and advocated for.
