LEADERSHIP LAB
+ Youth Advisory Board 2024
Elevating arts leadership through our Youth Advisory Board.
Following the success of an initial pilot project, we expanded the scope of our 2024 Youth Advisory Board by combining it with Leadership Lab — a new programme blending mentorship, training, and hands–on arts project experience for aspiring leaders aged 25 and under.
Our four participants put the programme into action by creating their own mini-projects, which you can experience below.

A LOVE LETTER TO THE LAND
By Angelica Willis
A Love Letter to the Land showcases five young perspectives from Wirral as they connect and explore their local landscape.
The film documents a day out in Birkenhead Park, where they attended a tour of the park. After reflecting on their walk, they wrote a letter to show appreciation and care for their land. Overall, the film exhibits the young people being custodians of their local environment.
Angelica is a youth worker at The Hive Youth Zone in Birkenhead, and the young people featured are regular attendees of the youth centre. She got the inspiration for this project from exploring youth-based environmental activities in her home country, Australia.
Thanks to The Hive Youth Zone and Birkenhead Park.
