Change Makers was a partnership programme aimed at affecting positive social change by tackling inequality in the arts. 20 racially minoritized young people worked alongside venues and artists to develop their creative skills, gain a Bronze Arts Award qualification whilst learning about creative career pathways. Our Change Makers: Strategies for Change resource written by Kamina Walton and Roz Stewart-Hall was aimed at:
- Consolidating learnings from the Engage Cymru Change Makers programme, evaluation and training event
- Challenging and supporting arts organisations to become more equitable, amplifying diverse voices across their programme and staff team
- Highlighting some examples of best practice nationally
