Access the Evidence: Youth Arts Transforms Lives – a new publication for 
the sector

Artswork, the national youth arts development agency, provides fresh
evidence to demonstrate the transformational power of the arts to make
positive changes to the lives of young people with an innovative new
publication.

Supported by the voices and views of young people and endorsed by
leading national and international arts, creative and cultural figures,
a new publication: *‘Youth Arts Transforms Lives’* – illustrates the
real impact of participation in the arts and culture with, for and by
young people.

The publication can be found by following this link:

Resulting from Artswork’s year-long national campaign for the English
National Youth Arts Network, *‘Youth Arts Transforms Lives – FACT !’*
highlights the impact of a resilient, forward-thinking, innovative Youth 
Arts sector. It is reflective of the creative experiences and
flexibility it offers to young people.

Furthermore, the endorsing statements and exemplary articles focus on
ways in which engagement in the arts and culture results in real,
definable and unequivocal positive outcomes for young people.

The statistics, case studies and articles drawn together from across
England demonstrate the highest quality of Youth Arts practice currently 
being delivered by youth and arts organisations nationally. It includes 
awe-inspiring accounts from young people who recount their own personal 
experiences and journeys of learning through participation in the arts.
