Ignite! Projects:

Youth In Action

Ignite! has worked with Campaign for Learning, Scarman Trust and Artswork to develop a proposal for young people as agents of community change, drawing on their skills and creativity to make a difference.

The vision for the project is an inclusive and vibrant role for young people at the heart of British society - active, influential and respected from the grass roots in communities to the highest levels of government. The project aims for young people to act as agents of positive change, enriching their own lives and communities and having positive impact across the UK and beyond. A number of young people have been instrumental in developing the proposal.

An important part of the project is to link up with the experience of young people in other countries. We plan to make an application for European funding in February 2008.

The Campaign for Learning is a national charity, which aims to create a passion for learning that sustains people for life.

The Scarman Trust is a national charity committed to helping citizens bring about change in their community, in the way that they want.

For Artswork creative opportunities for young people, means participatory arts activities by and for young people, outside of schools and other formal education settings, and outside the demands of the national curriculum.
