The Liverpool City Region was one of 10 pathfinder areas across England to pilot Find Your Talent (FYT). Working with the world class cultural organisations on their doorstep, Find Your Talent gave children and young people the chance to try out different cultural and creative activities and access high quality cultural experiences.
The Liverpool City Region pathfinder was delivered by LARC, through a funding package worth £4.5 million in partnership with Knowsley MBC, Liverpool City Council, St Helens MBC and Curious Minds (previously Creative Partnerships Merseyside) . The programme was led by National Museums Liverpool on behalf of LARC, and was supported by both the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
“As part of recent budget reforms, the Find Your Talent programme ended. We are proud, however, that Find Your Talent had two very successful years delivering fantastic projects that offered life-changing experiences for children and young people aged 0-19. Find Your Talent opened up a host of new possibilities for cultural organisations across the region to develop new ways of working and to engage with schools and young people in new areas of Merseyside. We know that the approaches developed and the partnerships between cultural organisations, education settings and local authorities will continue into the future. The cultural offer in this area has always been rich and we will work to make sure it will endure and continue to engage young people and transform their lives for many years to come.”
Carol Rogers, Executive Director of Education, Communities and Visitors at National Museums Liverpool and Strategic Lead for Find Your Talent in the Liverpool City Region.
