How Will It Happen

From 2009, young people from across Lancashire and the Fylde Coast will be making, researching and discussing art, culture, and sport and deciding on the best digital platforms to be able to share experiences and opportunities and to direct people to make new cultural journeys. Young people will be our guides through this new digital world that is forming around us.

Ruth Raban, Director of Creative Lancashire says:

Technologies revolutionise how we communicate with each other, with virtual worlds, mobile gaming and augmented reality technology, and who better to pioneer new uses of the technology than young people? They 'get it' and can see the possibilities. As future innovators young people will shape the way we work, play and create to 2012 and beyond.

New Cultural Journeys will be created and developed by the young people in Lancashire and the Fylde Coast and will offer a range of ways in which people and organisations can get involved. The programme will excite, surprise and engage residents and visitors in the area and beyond.

The journey is beginning and the possibilities are endless.
