Jessica Drader – I run and produce engagement programmes for children and young people of all ages and abilities.
I believe passionately in the need 'to place the young person at the centre of the experience, valu[ing] their input and empower[ing] them to participate in order to ensure maximum engagement'. We need to harness the power of creativity and the arts to address the gaps for disadvantaged and socially excluded people. The Cultural Inclusion Manifesto encapsulates the way in which we must work with EVERYONE!
