Young Voices in Heritage™
Our Flagship Initiative
Our Innovative Approach
Young Voices in Heritage™ has produced documented outcomes since November 2024, working with young people aged 10-16 alongside heritage organisations and community partners.
The initiative creates an informal learning environment that supports intergenerational connection, with creative media bringing community heritage to life.
What Participants Experience
Participants work with broadcast-quality equipment to create content they are genuinely proud to share. This is not amateur documentation. It is professional-standard media creation that demonstrates real transferable skills.
Sessions are designed to support a wide range of participants, including those with additional needs. Our facilitators are experienced in creating welcoming environments where confidence builds at each participant's pace.
Professional recognition from Museum of London Archaeology validates our evidence-based approach, with participants' work featured on their professional blog. Read Our Success Story
