On Friday 25th February Gary and I visited Pedestrian Arts in Leicester.
Pedestrian works within community arts and education, providing education and training in a wide range of Urban Art Forms, Street Sports and the Media.
Pedestrian has its beginnings in Northampton, running club nights, and supporting young turntablists and graffiti artists. It has developed into a very successful organisation based in Leicester where it provides learning opportunities for a variety of young people.
Sam Whelan, Pedestrian's director, very kindly gave up a couple of hours to talk us through their work and to their plans to work more in Northamptonshire.
Back after a winter hibernation with news of this website promoting enterprise among young people in the East Midlands.
Enterprising Streak is a website dedicated to young people in the East Midlands. It’s crammed full of information, ideas, events and services on how to unleash their enterprising streak. People who are enterprising can change the way their local community looks, the way people do their jobs and what direction business and society develops. Enterprise is a skill, it is something that can be learnt and developed.
