Lewisham Creative Youth Council (LCYC)
MONTHLY - Starting 30 June
Online!
Age: 15 - 19
​
Are you 15-19 years old and live in Lewisham? Interested in the Arts and Creative Industries? Want to have your say in monthly meetings?
Be part of the Lewisham Creative Youth Council.
We will share your knowledge and expertise with arts organisations in Lewisham to help shape future arts projects in the area.
What will young people do as part of Lewisham Creative Youth Council?
​
Meet with other young people aged 15-19 and someone from LEAN to discuss the Arts and creative opportunities in Lewisham. We will listen, make notes, share experiences, and then pass on your ideas to Lewisham arts organisations working with children and young people.
​
It is a chance for young people to help shape the future of creative projects in the borough and to hang out with a friendly and relaxed group of like-minded people.
​
We don’t hold stuffy meetings – we play games, explore creative ideas and respect all opinions.

Lewisham Music has teamed up with South London Samba to bring you 12 weeks (starting with taster workshops) of high-energy drumming workshops for young people aged 10-17.
​
The project is open to anyone, whether you’ve been beating drums for years or never laid eyes on one. The workshops will be led by our team of friendly professional musicians from South London Samba, a collective of young people who love to drum.
Expect to bring some good vibes, playing energetic music inspired by Latin, Caribbean and African rhythms, blended together with a South London twist. You’ll have the chance to learn new skills, work alongside other young musicians and work towards some carnival-style performances.
Head over to the Lewisham Music website for more information about the project and click here to sign up.
