FIND YOUR CAREER IN THE ARTS

Discover Young Hackney

Bringing arts and culture to Hackney’s young people.

The initiative aims to develop the creative skills of 15-26 year-olds including those with SEND and provide routes into the cultural and creative industries. It also aims to develop creativity in young people and break down social and practical barriers in the arts.

In addition, the programme raises the profile of cultural organisations that run high-quality activities for young people in Hackney. 

This year, high-quality activities led by organisations, helped develop skills for thousands of Hackney’s young people throughout August.

This year’s programme featured creating theatre with professionals, designing an architecture project, and playing with avatars.  

DYH is produced through a grants scheme by Hackney Council. Industry professionals led all events and activities, which were either free or low-cost.

Stay tuned for the announcement for 2025.
