Unleashed: East
In-person session focused on centring young people’s voices, with practical insights on youth-led practice across the arts and other sectors
Unleashed: East
17 June 2026
11am - 3pm
The Junction, Cambridge (Clifton Way, Cambridge, CB1 7GX)
Join the movement for change. With young people’s voices at the centre, these sessions are set to inspire creative organisations and freelancers by delving into youth-led practice and skills development. This year, we will feature a range of keynote speakers, each representing a different sector, who will share their approaches and experience of embedding youth voice in their work. Their insights will highlight the cross-over between arts and other fields, exploring what the arts sector can learn from wider practice, and equally, what unique perspectives the arts can offer in return.
Building on the success of our Reality Check online events, these sessions will provide practical guidance, resources, and useful insights. Attendees will have opportunities to learn and be inspired, network with professionals from their region, share ideas, form collaborations, and contribute to the ongoing development of the arts sector.
Please note: The sessions will take place from 11:00 to 15:00 at the following venues and dates:
- South West session: Friday, 17 April 2026 – Playland, Portsmouth
- East session: Wednesday, 17 June 2026 – The Junction, Cambridge
- North West session: Tuesday, 6 October 2026 – Wigan Pier, Wigan
Spaces are limited. To ensure your place, please register soon. Join us in supporting young people’s role in the arts, engaging with other sectors, and broadening creative expertise for wider benefit.
