How welcome do young people feel when they visit our cultural venues or public spaces?
What barriers do they experience? What effect does it have on their enjoyment? How likely are they to return?

Experience has shown us that, in such situations, every single adult interaction really matters to young people, especially when they’re doing something that’s new. It can completely change their perception of the whole visit, regardless of what they’ve come to see or do, and affects their willingness to engage. The responsibility to get it right is huge.

To address these challenges, Curious Minds has developed a short, one-day course to help people working in front of house or public facing roles understand the teenage experience and feel more confident in their interactions with young people.

I’m a Teenager… Get me into there is based on expert knowledge and research. It has been developed, tested and refined over many years and in collaboration with specialists in youth work and outreach, alongside young people themselves.

Delivered by expert trainers, it is packed full of insights, advice and ideas that can help all sorts of venues create a more welcoming and inclusive environment. It’s perfect for anyone working with the public, including:

• Front-of-house staff
• Volunteers
• Curators and programmers
• Venue security teams
• Everyone who encounters young people at work!

Don’t miss this opportunity to challenge and change how you think about access and inclusion for young people in your community.
