Proposed young people project

We want to hear from young people aged 13 and over to find out what kind of youth provision they would like to access in their community.   

The proposal is to set up an initial project starting with a short film produced by InSpire Sounds in Oxford. Young people in the film were given the opportunity to share their views about what type of youth provision would meet their needs. This film showing could act as a launch for a project for young people in Bampton.

They would be able to participate in workshops on creating poetry and street art, beginning with a session led by MC and Poet Rawz on telling personal stories through poetry.  

The outputs from this session could provide the inspiration to create a visual representation led by Easy Chalmers of MES Creations Street Art Collective.

They could also explore self-expression via the medium of music with sessions with Producer/Studio Owner King Boyden. The entire project would be filmed by Samuel Mansell of Drop All Words Media to provide a platform to hear from Bampton young people and what they want their community to offer them. 

Following this project a youth hub could be set up to continue to develop these initial activities and ideas. It would involve young people in the decision making to ensure that the youth hub best meets their needs. A competition for young people to name the youth hub and design the logo could lead to the opening of their youth hub in Bampton. This could help young people to feel a greater sense of ownership and belonging in their community. 

 If you are aged 13 or over and you would like this project to go ahead or if anyone would like to help get this project off the ground, please contact info@bamptonbeam.co.uk
