Working alongside professional photographers, broadcast journalists, historians, international performers and sound designers they learnt all the skills required to create a digital exhibition of the festival using original, reproduced archive materials, new images and audio recording exhibited in The Forum, Norwich 2nd – 4th July 2011! They also created a Festival City podcast with support from Future Radio. Participants gained a Level 1 or 2 Arts Award, as well as taking part in specialist master classes, training and workshops.
Festival City was a youth-led project, with the young people involved making all the key decisions. The “Festival City” Production Group were responsible for marketing, invigilating and reviewing the public exhibition. The Production Group was lead by 5 x Young Heritage Leaders and helped install the exhibition and took part in activities including marketing, budgeting, health and safety and evaluation. They also took part in research visits to galleries and exhibitions. Take a look below to see examples of the work created by the young people of Festival City, including a tour of the exhibition, the podcast and so they can tell you about Festival City in their words interviews with participants and project partners. We are really proud of what they have achieved so this page is a tribute to them, their achievements and just how hard they worked. Enjoy!
