|---|
| Information Service (NLIS) to deliver this |
| exciting programme of activity enabling the |
| consortium to strengthen partnership working |
| between museum and library staff and increase |
| levels of cultural engagement by young people |
| in a sustained way, employing the successful |
| Kick the Dust approach to youth engagement |
| that uses the three-stage progression model |
| Player-Shaper-Leader. The programme will be |
| aimed at those in the three priority places aged |
| 16-25 years, with opportunities for 13–16-year- |
| olds to engage as part of the progression |
| framework. |
| The key aims of the new Kick the Dust project |
| are to: |
| • develop transferable work-related skills |
| with the aim of supporting more |
| working age young people into |
| employment, training or further |
| learning. |
| • develop digital skills linked to creative |
| industries to address the digital skills |
| gap in heritage and cultural sectors. |
| • increase young people’s creative skills |
| and for young people to gain a range of |
| new cultural experiences. |
| • encourage an appreciation of the |
| history and culture of their local |
| communities. |
| Young people will work alongside professionals |
| to develop their transferable work-related and |
| creative skills, through the co-production of |
| activity and events, volunteering and work |
| experience operating at a level that meets their |
| needs. |
| Kick the Dust projects in Great Yarmouth have |
| included: |
| YMCA - Great Yarmouth Heritage Collective |
| (YMCA) |
| Kick the Dust has continued to work with the |
| YMCA in Great Yarmouth to support young |
| people aged 19-25 to gain transferrable skills |
| and confidence through positive activities. We |
| have continued to create an engaging weekly |
| programme of activities for young adults who |
| struggle with their mental health and |
wellbeing. These sessions are held every Wednesday throughout the year. The GY Heritage Collective made a MET Gala dress inspired by their lived experiences in Great Yarmouth and the town’s history. They looked at textiles techniques through time, including Medieval weaving and natural dyeing. They attended the Norwich and Norfolk Makers Festival to learn how to mend clothes with the traditional Japanese practice of Sashiko. They learned how to mend garments in a sustainable and mindful way. The final dress was designed by clients. It includes references to maritime, literary, and contemporary history of Great Yarmouth. We also hosted an Afternoon Tea to celebrate VE day after learning about it in one of our sessions. We all got dressed up and played 1940s music and ate lots of scones to celebrate the day! National Saturday Club Our flagship Saturday offer continued to support underserved and disadvantaged young people, including young carers, young people on the autism and Asperger’s spectrums. The worked on a migration themed project, with freelance creative Daisy Henwood, linked to the Royal Museums Greenwich. They learned about why people migrate, how the communities of Great Yarmouth have changed over the years and imagined the journeys that fascinating objects in our collection have taken to arrive in the town from around the world. They made miniature woodwork sculptures based on ship models from Time and Tide collections and inspired by the migration of Scottish Herring Girls to Great Yarmouth. Tricia Hall explored the Migration, Heritage and Belonging handling collections with the group and helped them to make ceramic feasting bowls inspired by ritual objects we have in the museum that were made by first nation artists from Haida Gwaii in Canada.
Young people also participated in a Masterclass with BAFTA winning animation artist – Jim Le
Ferve – who taught the group how to make zoetropes and phonotropes using record players. This workshop was amazing for teaching the group new skills and building their confidence to give new artistic approaches a go. Make Yarmouth Make Yarmouth works with the Shaw Trust to engage vulnerable teenagers in positive activities. We use a variety of light-touch, creative arts approaches and museum collections to generate a fun programme of weekly activities. These sessions run every Tuesday evening in term time. This year the group worked with Rosa Chalfen, a Kick the Dust Youth Ambassador and member of Norwich Young Heritage Collective on a Zine Project funded by the Norfolk and Norwich Festival as part of their emerging creatives programme. Rosa worked with Make Yarmouth to learn creative writing skills in an accessible way. Literacy has been a barrier for a lot of our young people attending Make Yarmouth and Rosa adapted sessions to create narratives through storyboards and images drawn by participants. We created nonsense stories using word association and explored Great Yarmouth folklore through drama. Over the summer, we hosted extra sessions which included, visiting the Lydia Eva, the last remaining drift net trawler on Great Yarmouth’s South Quay and the heritage rollercoaster at Great Yarmouth’s Pleasure Beach. This was a positive way of marking the group’s achievements over the year and welcoming new members. We also completed a project around the Hippodrome Circus in Great Yarmouth; working with collections at Time and Tide Museum, Hippodrome Museum and Great Yarmouth Library to curate an engaging programme of craft activities that focus on the heritage of the circus, and how it still plays an important part in the town today. Make Yarmouth will be created artwork around the history of flea
circuses and archived posters from previous shows, and the artwork created by Impressionist and Surrealist painters during the 19[th] and 20[th] centuries. They worked with the Drillaz Circus School from Out There Arts to try circus skills. Youth Climate Action Group A new Youth Climate Action Group for Kick the Dust created an exhibition for International Earth day at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse. The group worked alongside museum professionals from Time and Tide Museum, Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse (GFW) and GFW Environment Hub. Eleven students from East Norfolk Sixth form met weekly to plan, research, illustrate and design an exhibition called Roots for Renewa l as a part of th International Earth Day celebrations at GFW on 11[th] April. In January eleven students visited GFW to carry out research for their exhibition, they met the curator Rachel Kidd, Farm Manager and Environment Hub Officer Ben Earle. They learned about exhibition interpretation and historic farming practices as well as contemporary sustainable methods. The group have also learned about fundraising and compiled their own bid to the Kick The Dust delegated budget. The group have also learned about fundraising and compiled their own bid to the Kick The Dust delegated budget. Not Made in Great Yarmouth extension project. Since completing the development of The Smokehouse Gallery at Time and Tide Museum, we have delivered an extension project in partnership with East Coast College. Twelve Media and Photography students at East Coast College worked alongside digital creatives to explore the theme of Youth Culture as it relates to activity in both their online and physical worlds.
Through a series of practical workshops, the students were introduced to a range of innovative technologies by three practitioners working at the cutting edge of creative tech. Audio-visual artists Lewis Wickwar, Nat Whitney and Emily Godden shared their skills in projection mapping, vjing, and 360 video and photography. The students proceeded to employ both their newfound and existing skills to create individual films for display in the Smokehouse Gallery.
