Enfield of Dreams is a transformative two-year project that foregrounds the voices of young people, connecting them with Enfield's Cultural Partners and creative practitioners to create a shared vision for culture in Enfield.
Enfield of Dreams is led by UP Projects, working in partnership with Border Crossings, Chickenshed Theatre, Clore Leadership, Facefront Inclusive Theatre, HighRise Entertainment, Platinum Performing Arts, Enfield Council, many Enfield-based artists, creative practitioners and young people. The programme is funded by Arts Council England’s Place Partnership National Lottery funding and LocalMotion Enfield.
Young people will be supported to take part in a range of ambitious creative initiatives including: including:
- A multi-year Young Cultural Leaders skills and development programme that will enable a diverse group of young people from across the borough to gain skills, experience and confidence in arts programming, management, governance, and leadership.
- An artist-led Creative Learning programme that will see artists, young people and teachers co-devising creative learning workshops for students in Enfield Secondary schools that aim to open young minds to creative career pathways.
- A series of ambitious projects for Enfield’s public realm developed through a process of co-creation between Enfield’s cultural organisations, freelance creatives and young people.
With Access, Collaboration and Ambition at their core, these initiatives will become action research, driving change in how creatives and young people work together to inform a new cultural strategy as well as a thriving creative network in Enfield.
