Reach the Heights Project

Prosiect Cyrraedd y Nod

Aberystwyth Arts Centre is part of a major Welsh Assembly Government and Arts Council of Wales initiative called ‘Reach the Heights’. This initiative is primarily aimed at reducing the number of young people in Wales aged 11 - 19 years who are not in education, employment or training, or at risk of being so, and is funded through the European Social Fund (ESF) programme in Wales with the Arts Council of Wales. We are involved in two projects: The ‘Ceredigion Project’, provides a participative arts programme in the performing and visual arts for young people at risk across Ceredigion, delivered by a partnership of arts organisations from across the county - Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Cwmni Theatr Arad Goch and Theatr Felin-fach, in conjunction with Ceredigion County Council.

‘Visual Roots Cymru’ supports volunteer placements for vulnerable and hard to reach young people in two visual arts venues, co-ordinated by engage Cymru, and delivered by Aberystwyth Arts Centre and Oriel Myrddin.
