participatory youth artsfor individual & community development in Keighley
small world is about community action if you want to change the world, start on your own doorstep through creativity comes awareness, awareness bring change responsibility to make the community you live in a better place to be
Small World was set up in May '99 to provide grass roots, participatory arts in Keighley. Working primarily with young people, using arts to allow individuals to develop and communities to come together through celebration, creative ability & opportunity. Over the last three years Small World has worked on a variety of broad range projects with young people from all over Keighley, concentrating on the urban disadvantaged areas, as a means of engaging young people at risk. A lot of work is on-going and as more young people are allowed access to arts, more interest develops and new projects are being planned profile Small World was set up, & is still run by, local volunteers whose own experiences of growing up in the town led to the formation of the idea of sustained broad range arts as a form of community action. There are plans to find funding to establish the group in the town through premises & paid workers, this will offer more stability and more activities whilst keeping the accessibility and work in the community the focus.
