As part of a long term partnership with youth employment charity Tomorrow’s People, Compass Presents worked with young ‘NEET’ people on rolling 8-week programmes to develop their creative skills.
On this project, we facilitated an exploration of street homelessness and insecure tenancies experienced by the young people. Content from workshops fed into a co-written poem with youth poet laureate Vanessa Kissule. Vanessa’s performance was filmed by the young people on a learning programme run by Rife Magazine and Watershed, and supported by Creative Youth Network.
Part of our core mission at Compass Presents is to create high quality opportunities for young people and people from marginalised communities to gain experience in the creative sector. We often work with emerging producers and apprentices, giving them their first experience working in production.
