Responsible for
Delivery of high quality mental health focused creative writing and arts programme to facilitate the projection of youth voice on the opinions, fears, views, concerns and passions of young people - particularly those who are marginalised and vulnerable and/or at risk of social exclusion and exploitation.
Three Minute Heroes is a music and mental health programme, developed and facilitated by The Warren Youth Project in Hull, that uses creative writing to support young people, and turns their words into music, by using local musicians and singer/songwriters. They then developed this programme into Three Minute Monologues, using the same model of creative writing sessions with young people, but this time commissioning professional playwrights to turn young people’s words, themes and thoughts into monologues.
The Warren are pushing this project further and are looking for a candidate who can facilitate creative writing sessions to support young people’s mental health and wellbeing, whilst connecting with local musicians, script writers and artists to produce creative outputs that are entrenched in youth voice.
Responsibilities:
- To prepare and implement relevant workshops in creative writing
- To liaise and build constructive partnerships with local organisations, community groups and local creative organisations and individuals to ensure the success of the project
- Facilitate the provision of high quality, enjoyable creative expression experiences centred on the needs of young people, particularly those who rarely engage with the arts
- To work as part of the Forged creative team to deliver the next phase of Three Minute Heroes programme - the primary purpose of which is to give young people a voice through creative writing and then have that writing anonymised and passed onto artists, illustrators, spoken word and playwrights and musicians to create something both inspired by and using young people’s words.
