Get Connected: Partners and Community
Early Years
Over the past seven years we have delivered music workshops into the majority of Early Years settings across the city. Working closely with settings staff this project has engaged and enthused hundreds of children about music.
NoZone
NoZone is a referral-based music workshop, delivered by some of the city’s finest Music Mentors. It aims to provide a safe, creative environment for vulnerable 16-25 year olds where they can develop & learn new skills and interests.
We deliver partnership and bespoke programmes with many different agencies and organisations to help provide a strategic and multi-agency approach to our work with children and young people in challenging circumstances.
The work is primarily delivered through Remix, Bristol’s Youth Music Action Zone. Partnership programmes include alternative education (with Hi-Road studios commissioned by the local authority), transition programmes with Connexions and extended schools partnerships in North Bristol and early years programmes with Bristol Arts and Music Service, as well as targeted positive activities with the Basement Studio and Youth and Play.
For Adults returning to training we are working with the Learning Communities Team.
Our DCMS rehearsal space programme – the Unicorns Studios - gives young people up to age of 25 the opportunity to use affordable state of the art rehearsal and recording facilities.
