Youth Engagement
Neighbourhood Alliance sees arts activities impact positively on anti-social behaviour
darts' work with the Neighbourhood Alliance under the banner of Positive Futures - Arts aims to engage children and young people in their own communities to assess youth drinking and/or substance misuse and then use the arts as a tool to explore some of the issues and explore the choices they make and the agencies that can help them. To do this artists are out in Doncaster on a Friday night... on the street... outside the off license... in the park... where young people hang out...
