Youth Voice: The Importance of Advocating for Children and Young People
I am delighted to have been asked to lead the Youth Voice Pod as part of the Leeds Cultural Education Partnership (LeedsCEP). I have worked in cultural education in Leeds for over 15 years, and I am an enthusiastic advocate for the powerful role art and culture plays in the lives of children and young people.
Opportunity: Artist Project Call Out
Working with under 25s of all marginalised genders an exciting art installation is being collaboratively created for Merrion Gardens in Leeds city centre this summer. Melody would love to hear from anyone interested in seeing their thoughts and ideas reflected in the city centre, we want to make this green space welcoming, inclusive and fun!

Opportunity: Be an Active Part of the New LeedsCEP
Welcoming new roles and ways to get involved.
Opportunity: LeedsCEP, School Partnerships and Stepping Forward Together
What is LeedsCEP for? What value does it have and for whom? What are we trying to achieve and how? LeedsCEP is going through a bit of a ‘re-set’ – post-covid, pre-LEEDS 2023, where we get to remind ourselves of why we are here, what we want to achieve and what the journey ahead may look like. Education partnerships and young voices, currently under-represented, are a key focus as we begin to plan ahead.
Member Focus: Dance Futures Reflections
Dance Futures was a youth focussed conference created by Yorkshire Dance with support from Yorkshire’s Regional Dance Development Network. The day, hosted at Leeds City College, brought together youth groups, industry professionals and young people to explore new ideas, listen, learn and reflect on the future of youth dance.
