The Tyca Youth Board
We wanted to involve young people in steering the Tyca Festival, supporting its planning, delivery and marketing, in order to make the festival as relevant to young people as possible.
The Tyca Youth Board consists of a group of young people mainly aged between 14 and 18, who have been trained through Tyca in project planning and delivery, social media marketing, volunteering and other skills. They have been meeting fortnightly since May and will be present at all the Tyca events, hosting, supporting the Tyca Festival venue’s technical teams and working in front of house roles in the arts centres.
This has been an amazing opportunity for the Tyca Crew who have gained valuable real life working experience in an arts environment, developing a range of useful skills that they can use in their future lives, careers or university applications.
