There are five activities at the heart of a Young Cultural Creators project:

1. A visit to the local library.
2. An author-led workshop at a museum, gallery or archive.
3. A follow-up workshop at the library with an author first met at the museum, gallery or archive.
4. A display and celebration of young people’s work at the library.
5. Continuing linked activities, building on the Young Cultural Creators experience.
