Youth Music established links with Northern Ireland in 2000 and we aim to build stronger relationships in the province. Potential activities include links between a Youth Music Action Zone in England and music education providers in Northern Ireland. Youth Music may also propose collaborations, focussing on continuing professional development (CPD) between an organisation based in Southampton, which specialises in the youth arts sector, and a Belfast-based music workshop. These partnerships will be built up in collaboration with the Arts Council of Northern Ireland and government contacts.
