SUMMARY:Your Story\, Your Art
DESCRIPTION:A new creative programme for teens\nLed by Open The Box Arts (11+)\nMonday 6pm-8pm\nYour Story\, Your Art! \nA creative programme for teens aimed at bring young people together to amplify their voices and tell their stories about our town. \nOver three months\, we’re bringing together a crew of young people from across Helston to co-create a workshop programme that you shape and lead. Think zine-making\, storytelling\, art\, writing\, and more — using professional materials\, working with brilliant artists\, and making something real together. The programme will end with a sharing and exhibition at The Basement on Saturday 13 June.  \nNo pressure. No auditions.

Young people aren’t just participants — they help shape the programme itself\, giving them a genuine voice and a real sense of ownership. \nLed by professional artists and makers\, workshops are inclusive\, safe\, and designed to bring together young people from different backgrounds around shared creative goals. \nThis group will meet on a mixture of Saturday mornings and Monday evenings. \nThis is a pilot project.

Your young person’s experience and ideas will help shape what comes next. \nWhat do I need to know? \n\nWho is The Basement for?\nThe Basement isn’t just another youth centre – it’s the space you asked for\, designed by you\, built for you.
