Reach the Heights project helps 200
More than 200 young people in the county have reaped the benefits of a project funded through the Arts Council’s Reach the Heights project.
The Reach The Heights Project, a Welsh Assembly Government project in receipt of £27 million from the European Social Fund, is aimed at engaging young people aged 11-19.
The project has helped young people at risk of becoming Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET) or who are already NEET to develop their skills in multi media.
With the added help and financial support of The Carmarthenshire Youth Arts Project, Youth Workers from Carmarthenshire Youth Service has delivered multi media projects aboard the Youth Multi Media Bus to young people in the St Clear’s, Carmarthen and Newcastle Emlyn areas.
Carmarthenshire Youth service Multi Media Project Youth Officer, Dolan Thomas said:
“Projects like Reach the Heights really do help young people get the best out of our services.
“Seeing them succeed and planning a future is very rewarding and we hope to deliver similar projects to many more young people across the County.
The Multi Media Bus provides activities such as animation, photography, image manipulation, film making and music sequencing. The project also offers opportunities for young people to receive accreditation. To date 18 young people have received accreditation – 6 in music sequencing and 12 in digital storytelling.
