Changemakers is a yearlong development programme for young leaders. Across a year, participants will develop as changemakers and activists and be supported by 20 Stories High to affect change in their local communities.
Participants will have the opportunity to get a close look at how 20SH operates as an activist arts organisation. Participants will be able to apply to become either the Chair, Deputy Chair, Secretary, Producer or Marketer and will receive mentorship for professionals from the staff team and board – developing your business and professional skills for the future.
Sessions will each be a mixture of practical, creative and meeting-based activities, allowing our creative practice to influence our ideas.
