The Black Excellence Project is culture & creative industries programme, for young people aged 11-16. Exploring culture and building skills!

The Black Excellence Project is an extra curricular programme, open to young people aged 11 – 16. It gives young people the opportunity to build skills, develop their talents, discover new interests and opportunities and meet new friends.

This project will run fun culture and skills based sessions led by role models from industry and the arts. The young people will have the opportunity to develop practical and analytical skills, and gain an understanding of the opportunities that are available to them where people of colour are not often visible.

The programme aims to address the lack of multicultural representation in mainstream education by providing an African, Caribbean and mixed heritage focus.
