Youth
4Cs offers young people aged 11–19 the chance to create, experiment and develop their skills through a range of creative programmes at Raw Material’s studios and creative spaces.
Sessions take place in Raw Material’s professional music studios and creative spaces, where participants can take part in activities such as music production, songwriting, creative writing, visual arts and collaborative projects. Alongside creative learning, the programme also includes evidence-based personal development workshops designed to support emotional wellbeing, resilience and healthy coping strategies.
