More information about WYAP
The purpose of WYAP is to stimulate and deliver opportunities for young people aged 13-21 years, to take part in, enjoy and gain skills from high quality arts activities, that are relevant to their needs and interests and in which they choose to participate with the intention that:
young people develop an understanding and enthusiasm for learning through arts opportunities; that this contributes to them achieving their full potential as both individuals and members of wider communities and enthuses them to have a life-long involvement in the arts - as artists, future arts professionals, audiences and participants.
