Find Your Talent

Find Your Talent is a £2.5 million, Government-funded scheme to involve Leicester and Leicestershire’s 250,000 children and young people in five hours of cultural activities per week - from film-making to museums. Its Young Ambassadors programme is recruiting 16 teams of young people to devise and deliver their own cultural activities.

Led by Leicestershire County Council, Leicester City Council and Creative Partnerships, it is the largest of the 10 national schemes and the only one in the East Midlands.

Find Your Talent gives children and young people the chance to try out different cultural and creative activities. It's about helping them to discover new things, to express themselves, to develop a passion and to make the most of their talent. Whether it is music, art, film, theatre, dance, digital media, exploring libraries, museums or heritage, Find Your Talent is for every child and young person, whatever their age and whatever their ability.

Find Your Talent is being piloted in 10 pathfinder areas across England and offers children and young people regular involvement with arts and culture both in and out of school. Find Your Talent is funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, the Department for Children, Schools and Families, Arts Council England and the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council.
